Thanksgiving Weekend 2011

We had a great Thanksgiving week. A couple of days before Taylor had a musical program and feast at her school.



On Thanksgiving morning Taylor got all dressed up and wanted a picture with the turkey so we would remember it was Thanksgiving day.


Thanksgiving morning.



Our yummy Thanksgiving spread with Preston walking into the picture frame on purpose.



Some pictures of the family before we ate.









We heated the pool for that weekend and had some fun swimming. Will say it is the first time I have ever swam on Thanksgiving day.

Some opted not to swim and enjoyed the swingset instead.

A cute picture of Taylor and cousin Henry.



We had a talent show that afternoon with the family. Nathan told some jokes.

Natalie sang "Once there was a snowman"



Taylor sang some Thanksgiving songs from her program.



On Friday after Thanksgiving we hung out at my Parent's house. This is a cute picture of Natalie and cousin Warner.


The grandkids had a standing long jump competition.



On Saturday morning most of us went rapelling.



This picture has quite a story behind it. Taylor, Thomas, Henry and Nathan climbed up the mountain to go to where Preston and Steven were waiting. I took a picture of the kids climbing up and then I headed back to the other side of the base of the mountain to watch. The kids missed the turn and went too far at the top and were lost. None of the adults were aware until Preston hollered down to ask if we were sending anyone up to rappell. Christina then headed up to find them. She found them with another lady that was up at the top. This stranger said that the kids had been trained right because when she found them they were all 4 kneeling in a circle praying.


Nathan rapelled for the first time. It was a 100 plus cliff.

Nathan (sorry out of order)


Taylor got all the gear on and started over the cliff and decided against it. We were proud of her for trying.
Me going down.



Saturday afternoon we played some minute to win it games.




It was a great weekend.
