Annual gathering of klutzy, large-nosed people

As my cousin so eloquently put it: "if you're part of this family, you've got two left feet, a big nose and a dorky sense of humor".

Every Thanksgiving, this gifted group of people meets up somewhere near Mt. Shasta for a weekend of food, hiking, and nerdy games (no one plays Boggle like my family plays Boggle).

I think the highlight of this year's trip was the hike up to Castle Crags. About 5 miles round trip, and you get to play around on the rocks at the top. And of course there are some nice views to be had:

The hiking is always my favorite activity because you get some quality family-time, without having to play dorky games (this year was Charades-free!).
