Thanksgiving at Dale Hollow Lake


We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the Stinson side of the family at one of our very favorite places to visit....Eagles Haven at Dale Hollow Lake.

The whole Stinson clan....

The Thanksgiving Feast.....


Hanging out by the lake....

Rock-skipping contests.....


The Stinson siblings, Kevin, Melanie (& Bo), Stephen & Eric....
Super-hero cousins Van, Isaac, Lex & Clint......

Eagles Haven is a beautiful home that we rent from time to time, which is perched on a hill above Dale Hollow Lake, just a couple of hours northeast of us in southern Kentucky. The Dale Hollow area is absolutely pristine, one of the cleanest lakes in the country, and is gorgeous anytime of year. But it is really cool in winter, because it is one of the largest nesting grounds for bald eagles in the South and you can spot them so much easier when all the leaves have fallen off the trees.

The house has a huge deck overlooking the lake which is great for eagle-watching in the day and star-gazing at night.....the sky is AMAZING there at night!

Anyway, all of Kevin's side of the family gathered there for a few days and it was great! We stuffed ourselves, played games, built bonfires by the lake, ate some more, took naps in front of the fireplace.....a blessed and bountiful Thanksgiving in every way! Hope yours was great, too!
