This was a big Thanksgiving for our family. Every other year since 1987 extended family on my Dad's side gets together for a Thanksgiving family reunion at Camp Dawson. It is difficult to explain to an outsider how much fun is had in the four days we are together. I don't know anyone else who gets together with 60+ relatives for four days every other year to eat, play games, watch football, visit, and laugh at each other.
The three sisters who started it all. Gloria Gladney, Myra Sills & Rosie Worley.
Here is the whole group. We hit 62 this year in attendance!
This is the Gladney clan (1/3 of the family gathered)
The Thanksgiving meal is always special because we all sit together at one GIANT table. 
The food table for the Thanksgiving meal (this does not include the two tables covered in just desserts). It's insane!
Abigail and Joshua enjoyed spending time together. It had been too long since they had been together.

There are always games going on for the young and the old. 
Picking teams for the traditional family softball game. 
Softball participants warming up. The game is serious business and highly competitive. You better bring your A game with you to Camp Dawson. We can't wait for Thanksgiving 2011!
