Thanksgiving

There is no way to tell you everything.  I hope with words and pictures the feelings can be convert.  We laughed, fought, played, loved each other and made memories.   The kids loved being with cousins.  The 3 girls are the best of frenemies.  The first day it was too cold for Az to go outside. She did not want to freeze to death.  However, the 2^nd day it snowed, and she was outside FAST and most of the day.  The white stuff is pretty, but I was ok to leave it behind.

It started out with a bang.  In the middle of nowhere on our way to Vegas we got a hole in our tire.  Blessing there was a traveling tire repair that was about 10 min away.  It was not bad priced and fast.

McCarty searched and searched for an Air BNB that we could all be together.  There were 4 rooms with triple bunk beds.  It really was fun to be together.

We all played, played, and played, games.   Mom could not stand with her knees, so she even sat down and played.  There were old favorite and new games.

Yes, there was family DRAMA, it actually followed us home, but I am going to focus on the good.

Denali: gamer if there was a game going, he was in it.  Card games are not his favorite

Colvin: could not get enough of Acacia.  He loved playing on the rip stick and scooters outside.  He also loved a shock game (everyone had a handle and the last to press got shocked), he roped everyone into playing. Too much like Grandpa.

Azalyn: just loved running wild.  She really wanted to smoochy kiss Blazen; He was having none of that.

Some highlights: The food, its thanksgiving, I did not stop eating for 3 days.

We went to the rec center. The pool and water slide were fun BUT the first time down I bruised my tail bone.  6+ hours home was fun sitting, NOT.  The kids loved the rock wall. We spent as much time climbing as we did swimming.

Greg played basketball with the teenagers, his back and knees let him know that was not a good idea.

We went to the church and Timber taught us dances.  Oh Jonny Oh, and The Virginia reel. The kids had so much fun with the dances. Then we just turned on music and jammed out for 30min.    They were setting up for a funeral and the old ladies just loved watching us.

A GREAT time was had by ALL! Worth all the time and money!
