Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving break was sure fun this year.  On Wednesday morning we headed up to Idaho to spend the rest of the week with Uncle Bruce and Aunt Linda's family.  The four hour drive went quickly thanks to the iPod and iPhones that had many episodes of Avatar on them for the boys to watch.  

Since they had a full house, we took another 50 minute drive that night up to their Ranch where we got to stay in the cabin with Gary, Laura, and Tyler.  The boys thought this was really great and were excited to see the horses and cows.

Thursday morning we dropped Matt off in Idaho Falls where he met up with Aaron, Ryan, and My brother Devin and some of Jessica's family for a Turkey Bowl.  (Not often do you get to meet up with family from both sides when your out of town for Thanksgiving)  They had a good time and only minor injuries occurred.  We spent the rest of the morning at Bruce and Linda's cooking for the big meal.  About 2 PM we dug in for a delicious Thanksgiving feast!  The rest of the day we all visited and relaxed, watched a few old movies, and the cousins sure had a fun time playing together.  Late that night we headed back up to the cabin to get some sleep.

On Friday, everyone joined us up at the Ranch where we had left over turkey sandwiches for lunch, played games, watched some football, and let the little ones ride the four wheelers and horses.  They also helped uncle Bruce feed the horses and the cows.  We has some much fun!

We also had some cake to celebrate Ashley's birthday.   That night Gary & Laura and Bruce & Linda had a sleep-over at the cabin with the grandkids (8 kids ages 6 and under!).  The adult cousins went back to Bruce and Linda's for banana splits, a movie, and no kids (except for the 2 babies).  We even got to sleep in without the kids waking us up bright and early.  

Saturday we packed up and headed home.  Thanks, Bruce and Linda for a wonderful Thanksgiving break!
