Thanksgiving in Panaca

 What would a trip to Panaca be without a visit to the ranch? We watched the cows and saw some calfs.
 But the favorite is the horses.
 All the kids can never get enough of the horses.
 Cousin Logan jumped on bare back and the kids had to get in on the action.
 D never has enough turns.
 We did a little hike to the cave. This B coming down.
 A exploring.
 D with her cousin that she played with so well the whole trip. Love having so many cousins that there is alway someone to play with.
 More climbing around the cave.
 Even climbing outside the cave with more cousins.
 The adults headed to St. George one night for a date night. It's always nice to talk without the kids around. We had dinner and then headed to the bowling alley. The brothers always have a nice little competition. 
 One afternoon we went up to the sand dunes. The kids got very sandy! 
 Everyone got their turn on the ATV's. 
 Big B got tired of taking everyone on so many rides.
 Grandpa Mathews even took one for a spin.
 Glad we had nice weather this year so we could do so much outside!
 Christmas tree hunt tradition!!
 A and I found it this year. Big B always gets so much help. 
 B insisted on doing lots of the sawing.
 These next pictures uploaded in the wrong order but this is the final product. My favorite Panaca bush to date. I had a really hard time taking it down.
I'm sure we are quite the spectacle headed down the 15 with a tree on our van but it is a tradition I hope to have for years to come. 
Once again we had a great time seeing family and being in Panaca. Next time I hope to get more pictures of family.
