The last time the Hall Turkey Bowl took place was in 2008. This year the gang was all together again (minus Greg and Jenny) so we gathered together on Thanksgiving morning to play some football. The stakes are high- Winners get the trophy and losers get to do the dishes. This year my brother Craig was in charge of making the turkey trophy and it was a sight to behold.
We couldn’t have asked for better weather. It was a beautiful morning with no wind or snow. The park across the street from my parents house was the rendezvous point.
Kylie and Zak were the team captains and began to choose their teams. I was picked last. Poor me. Even my own daughter didn’t pick me….I ended up on her team because I was the last one left. Here is my sad face.
Take a look at the two teams. You can clearly see the strategies. Kylie picked adults and Zak picked kids (Craig counts as a kid). Not lopsided at all. Ha! We all loved my dads hat swimming cap.
Now as I bombard you with some sweet action shots, you will notice several re-occurring themes-
- My brother Craig thinks he is a ninja
- Becky is trying to take my dad OUT
- Craig is not here to play football, he is here to tackle Jeff
- Crazy facial expressions
- An “older” player who we won’t name, may or may not look like they are going to have a heart attack
Jeff
Kendall and Diesel
Kylie and Zoey, the cheerleaders.
Next up- NINJA ATTACK!!!!
I mean really, who runs like that?
Some new friends joined our game so we divided up the teams again and what do you know, I was picked last. Whatever.
Dad, be afraid. She’s coming for you.
(Ahem. This might be the old person) Love you Dad!
Kim took Zeb down, Zak took Kenny down….twice and Craig took Jeff down numerous times.
I think I have figured out why I was picked last. Notice everyone running towards the ball? Ya,that’s me on the left.
Then there is Tyson who looked like a pro in every shot.
Strategery
I’m not exactly sure what is happening in this picture, but if I had to guess I would say Craig is dancing an Irish jig and Jeff is….I’m not sure what dance you would call that.
BANG. HEAD. AGAINST. TREE.
The Losers
The Winners!
I can’t wait for the next Turkey Bowl!

Even though I've seen these once already . . . I'm still laughing my head off. These are most definitely NOT my children - I am far more photogenic and serious. All the moves you see come from their DAD! Thank goodness I was BEHIND the camera! LOL
You and your family are hillarious Tenae!
