It's Never Too Late to Give Thanks!

Has it really been over a month since I posted on this blog? Where did November go? And for that matter, where did the 1st half of December go?

We had a great trip to St. George for Thanksgiving. Here are some of the high lights.

The boys loved playing in Grandpa's leaves. This proved to be a fun activity all week long for all the grandkids. They also loved playing with the boys next door, who they have become friends with during our visits to St. George.

 We got to take the boys miniature golfing with my parents for FHE. My dad told Mason that a alligator would eat his ball at the end when he put it down the hole. Mason talked a lot about that alligator and the ball he ate.

 Mason got a little sick while we were there, so we spent plenty of time just chilling with Grandma while the other guys went on some other adventures. He particularly loved this monkey puppet!

 I was really glad we could see my Grandpa Jensen. He'll be 92 in March (if he makes it there) and I think the boys were thoroughly entertained by his wheelchair.

 All of my boys were pretty enthralled with their littlest baby cousin, Aubry. Aubry (and by Aubry, I mean my brother Jeff) was really in to attacking the kids.

 Dustin was stoked when he found a place that he could rent a side-by-side for part of the day. He, my dad, and the big boys had a great day out riding around. They even hiked up to some dinosaur tracks! The boys also loved riding out on the sand dunes. 

 My dad's garden also provided a lot of entertainment for the grandkids. Of course, this usually ended up with some pretty dirty bath water, but they loved it.

The weather was lovely while we were there. It was so nice, that we ate Thanksgiving dinner outside on my parent's back porch. We were very thankful to spend time with my older brother Jeff and my younger brother Eric and their families. We also got to see Dustin's sister Jen and her husband Adam, who were also in St. George visiting Adam's family. 

Overall, it was a great trip. Thanks to my parents for having us for a fun week.
