Danny Cushman, 5th grade, drives to Charlottesville "to his stepdad's brother's wife where there is a big crowd with their kids, the cousins and friends. First we talk, then we get our food, then we pray, then we eat and have dessert." He says they make the turkey a special way by putting it in a pot on a fire outside the house. "The fire heats up the water and we boil the turkey and then it cooks inside. And we have a new special way to make mashed potatoes this year in the blender." Sometimes after dinner they build a fort with big sticks or make a huge pile of leaves and hide in them. "I tell the kids to go get my mom; I want to jump out and scare her."
