Some cotton, somebody (not sure who) picked this out of one of the cotton fields so that the kids could see it up close. This picture is sideways but you get the idea. We saw fields of cotton everywhere we went. 
This is the famous Boll Weevil Monument in Enterprise. They are all about the Boll Weevil because a long time ago the Boll Weevil ate the cotton crops and forced them to try something new. They started growing peanuts and were able to make a huge amount of money, much more than they were getting for their cotton. So, they are indebted to the Boll Weevil down in LA. We risked our very lives to get this picture. The monument is right in the middle of the road with no sidewalk or anything around it. Thankfully there isn't too much traffic in Enterprise. You probably need to click on the picture to get the full effect. It's a woman holding a Boll Weevil over her head.
After a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner some of us headed out to a state park to go letterboxing. We were successful--we found "King Cotton" and "Boll Weevil." Also in this state park they were having a scarecrow stroll. There were scarecrows all along the path in the woods. There were some very clever ones.
I liked this picture--just a picture of the woods and Hannah and Billy looking at a scarecrow and Grace hiking along.
This one was a Harley Davidson scarecrwo complete with a beer belly.
Here we are finding our first letterbox. Grace was the brave one who chose a stick and dug for it. She's actually the one most into letterboxing. Hannah and Joe enjoy the thrill of the hunt but are not terribly interested in the stamping part. Grace did all their stamping for them.
Here Joe is molesting the scarecrow checking out her upper body. I think her "jugs" were made of milk jugs and all three had to really check her out.
Thanksgiving dinner! We had a delicious, traditional meal all cooked by Aunt Harriet. 
We spent the morning watching the parade and coloring and then watched some of the dog show. That was pretty funny.
Here's Hannah playing dominoes with Aunt Clara. This little table was the site of lots of games--dominoes, Skip-Bo, Phase 10, Bananagrams (speed scrabble), and Trouble. We had a great time during our visit. I didn't get any pictures but on Saturday my GA family and some aunts, uncles, and cousins all came over to help us celebrate Aunt Clara's 95th birthday party!
