November weather in Texas is absolutely gorgeous. 70 degree days and crisp cool nights. Perfect weather to spend the weekend in the hill country at the lake. I enlisted some friends to come spend Thanksgiving weekend with us in three bedroom condos at Canyon Lake. We divided up Thanksgiving dinner by family (burke was in charge of deep frying the turkey) and we made everything a day in advance so we could enjoy our vacation at the lake. The kids were so excited and I was too. Until Biddy started throwing up.
Now Burke and I have experienced a family vacation where the stomach bug got introduced while 20 people were living together in a cabin and it was not a pretty sight. We were left with no choice but to cancel our reservation the day before Thanksgiving. The manager felt so sorry for us she waved the one night fee for canceling and that made it a little bit easier to stomach. Of coarse I got sick that night.
Thanksgiving morning our friends showed up to divide up the dinner with us. It was so nice. It turned out that we were not the only ones with sick kids so no one ended up going to the lake. It was such a disappointment. I was determined to still have a nice day and spent all my energy fussing over the food and table that by the time we sat down to eat I had no appetite at all. Burke still had an appetite for turkey and then as fate would have it he threw it all up later that night. JJ and Zana were great sports. They gobbled up their dinner with a cheerfulness that made the day turn out all right in the end.
Yep we will never forget this thanksgiving!!
