This rally is a lot of fun! We had three couples last year and six this year including one couple, Caleb & Halie (Tom & Ella's son and daughter-in-law) who rented a cabin. Additionally joining us was John & Suzie's son Tim and Tom & Ella's oldest son Micah.
Some of the gang went out on Friday and did some pistol shooting at a local gun range then went go-carting nearby. I did not participate in any of that this year so no pictures of those events.
For Thanksgiving Tom deep fried a turkey and had previously smoked another turkey and also had a third bird that was a boneless from Cooper Farms up near where Tom & Ella live (Thanks, Tom, for doing the bird cooking and carving! Much appreciated!). We had all the fixings and everybody each brings a couple of side dishes.
On Saturday we all watched the big Michigan vs. Ohio State game under my big event tent. John & Suzie are the Michigan fans in the group while everyone else roots for Ohio State! :-O
