Thanksgiving Weekend

Before we left for Colorado on Wednesday, we took the kids skating. It was Zachary's first time on roller skates (though he does have roller blades), and though it took him a little bit, he ended up doing great by the end. Sarah LOVES skating and is really good at it! Joshua wouldn't skate because it was for ages 2-6 (though they were going to let him since he has never roller skated before), but he thought he'd look silly with the little kids. Jason has some pics on his phone, but I haven't gotten them yet.

We got in around 7:10 Wednesday, so we made really good time. We sat up really late chatting with my Aunt and Uncle. I think it was close to 2 when we got to bed, which is 3 our time. Thursday we went to my Aunt Patti's house for Thanksgiving. There were 9 kids there (the oldest turned 9 last month, down to Robby who is 3 months), and I thought that was cool! I always remember playing with my cousins at holidays, and I loved seeing all of these kids playing together.








Friday, we went into my Grandma's for a bit, and then got to have dinner with Jason's Aunt and Uncle. They live in Denver, and it was a great evening! It was fun to visit with them and get to know them better. Their son and dil also came over. It was just a really nice time.

Saturday, everyone came over to my Aunt Becky and Uncle Dennis' house (where we were staying). We got out the ATVs, which were a blast! I had never been on one, but it was so much fun! Of course there are no pictures of me to prove that I rode them! The smaller one, Zachary and Joshua drove by themselves! I was impressed with how well they did. We played and ate and just had a great time!

And finally, before heading out of town on Sunday morning, several of us went to breakfast.
