Time for Thanksgiving!!!

I know this is really late in coming, life has just been so crazy busy lately it seems. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. It's hard when Bruce is gone to enjoy the holidays much, but we have some wonderful friends who invited us to stay with them at West Point that made it a great one. We have known Brad and Angela for 5 years almost now. We were stationed together at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland a few years back. In 2005 Bruce and I headed off to Ft Lee Virginia for a few months before ending up here in New York. Brad and Angela stayed a few more months in Maryland then headed off to Bloomington Indiana for Brad to get his Master's degree. This worked out nicely, because whenever we would go home to visit Mom and Dad we still get a chance to hang out with the Fenske's as well. Then last summer '06
Brad graduated, and they headed to West Point so he could teach. Turns out West Point is less than 5 hours away from Drum. You gotta love the Army in that respect anways, you always get to run into old friends. So last year Brad, Angela and the boys came up here for Thanksgiving, so they hosted this year. Here is a pic of all of us right before we enjoyed our Thanksgiving feast!!!




I'd never been to West Point before last week, and I can't believe how beautiful it is there. We took a tour on Friday and the views are absolutely breathtaking. It is in the Hudson Valley and thier is one spot that looks over the Hudson River that I was amazed at it's beauty, and of course you know me, I wanted to take pictures forever there, but it was particularly cold that day. We also visited the Cadet Chapel, where obviously the Cadets that attend there worship, it's architecture was gorgeous, and again the view from there unbelievable. Here are a few shots I got of the campus.





After we ate dinner on Thursday, since it was so warm out we took the boys down to the football stadium where the Army Black Knights play. This was definately the highlight I think for DJ. He is so into football right now, it's unreal. So we went down there and they played forever. I even got in on the action a little bit.
Unfortunately these pictures didn't come out all the great, but you can see the action in them.






So we all had a wonderful Thanksgiving as you can see. I just wanted to thank Brad and Angela again for welcoming us into your home for the weekend, we had so much fun. And I loved learning how to play Settlers.
