The hunt for the perfect tree!
We found it! One side is a little bare but we stick our tree in a corner anyways.
Chopping it down.
Taking it home. We weren't sure if it was that great of a tree but when we got it back to Cali and got it up it was perfect. Our best tree yet. I'll have pictures of it decorated a little later.
We had an amazing trip to Panaca. One of the many things we did was visit the sand dunes. This is big B jumping the bush. Something they did growing up. He did well, especially at the end after a few trys.
The kids had a fun time running down the dunes. That is after they got over their traumatic crash on the 4 wheeler. Big B didn't realize how big the drop was and the 4 wheeler tipped over on him, A, and B. Everyone was safe. Big B had some bruises.
I think C had more fun in this sand then at the beach. It must be the company of his cousin.
Here is a picture of most of the cousins. We all took a hike together. It was so much fun.
Part of the hike was in the back of a truck. I think we got about 22 people in the back. There was one scary part where I think one wheel was barely on the ground because the road got so narrow. The kids walked that part on the way out.
This was the best trip to Panaca I think I have ever had. We did so much! Thanksgiving in Panaca usually means football but not this time. This is us by a waterfall we all hiked to.
We went through Condor Canyon and stopped in this cave to get all orange with dirt.
We enjoyed many rides on the 4 wheelers.
Grandpa took B out for a ride by the house.
And of course Brent had to go hunting and let the kids shoot the gun. (C didn't shoot it.) I had such a good time. I hope this starts new traditions of what we do when we go to Panaca.
A had a great thanksgiving feast with her class. It was really yummy, I think she even had thirds.
The first grade did a play it was called Tom Turkey. A was Jill Jones, which was a speaking part.
The first grade is so big that they put three plays on with three classes being in each play. That's nine first grade classes all together.
