Thanksgiving in my family is awesome because beyond the turkey, cranberry sauce, gravy and potatoes, it consists of the following very awesome (in my opinion) activities:
1. Spending lazy afternoons at breweries. Alright, the colors should have been purple and gold and the mascot should have been a Husky, but I guess you have to work with what you are given. I do give them props for all the school spirit despite the fact that it wasn't even a game day. They were just getting really ready for the Civil War (ducks v. beavers) a day early!
2. Learning about butterfly and bug family classification through my brother's grad school project.
3. Playing with pets! What better opportunity for some family bonding than feeding a tortoise a carrot and watching it eat? It is so adorable!
