Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving break was really different this year. With my mom out of town and Brent's dad out of town it felt a little bit sad. BUT luckily I still have a sister and brother in town so it was still good. Wednesday the kids needed to get out of the house for all our sakes so I took them on a walk along a river trail. Taryn showed us a place down by the river to play and it turned out really fun. Jocelyn found a lady bug so life was good. 

Thursday we ate at our house and it was fun to use our China that gets used like once a year other wise. My sister and brother and nieces came. My niece Madison brought a friend from Tibet. It was super fun to learn about her country and culture and religion. She is such a great girl. We also showed her St George by taking her hiking to a place called fat man's misery. The kids always get a kick out of going through the slot. It took a while because a guy in front of our group really did get stuck in the narrow crevice but eventually he was pulled out. 

Friday we cleaned the house and put out Christmas decorations...always a good time but man the holiday season came fast this year. Saturday we found a new hike and it was AWESOME! The trail was up the whole way to the top and down hill the whole way back. All the kids did great hiking on their own and no one fell off the ginormous cliff. The views at the top were amazing.
