We headed down with the whole gang this year (my family anyway), minus Carly, Andy, and Scarlett.
Here is some of us. Bryan, Amelia, Kaydi, Braxton, Mary (cousin going to BYU), Mason, Jared, Dallin, Crystal, Owen, Kaylyn, Jake, Kendra, and Luke. It was a pretty tight squeeze in that little house, but we had a good time! The weather was awesome (65 degrees), so we had Thanksgiving outside.
The men re-shingled the roof on Wednesday and part of Thursday.
Mason and Owen - wishing they could join the big boys.
Their is a pomegranate tree/bush in the backyard, so they kids loved picking them and eating them. Jared had a few also! He is a sucker for anything fresh:) They are yummy, but very messy, especially on the clothes!
Camille, Elle, Garet, and Isaac were "old" enough to go up on the roof for a little while. It's not very steep and not very high off the ground, just perfect for 5 and 8 year olds.
The backyard has a tree house that my cousins built several years ago and Garet and Isaac spent sun-up to sun-down everyday pounding and building and playing in it. Little boys' heaven.
One morning Jared and I took the kids for a little hike up the mountain across the road to the famous "Toquerville Rock". It's quite a climb for little legs, but they all did great. No one even whined and they said they wanted to do it again!
We made it!
On the way home we stopped in the Cedar City area to chop down a Christmas tree. This is a tradition that we love and miss when we don't go to Duchesne for Thanksgiving. It wasn't nearly as fun as being with the entire family, but still memorable.
