Thanksgiving in Washington

I know that this is a little late, but oh well! It's not like I have the best track record with this blog! For Thanksgiving this year we drove to Vancouver,Washington, which turned out to be a lot of fun. We weren't so sure how things were going to go when Ellie yelled out after only 30 minutes into the 14 hour drive, "I can't take it anymore!" and then 45 minutes after that Ellie and Sam simultaneously threw up! Sam did have a rough journey, but all things considered the kids did a great job.



Once there we did a lot of fun things. We took a little trip to Seaside, OR. It is the cutest little town. On the way there we stopped at the Tillamook Cheese Factory and Arcadia beach to play around for a while.
Can you imagine how many 'say cheese' jokes we used while taking this picture?



Arcadia Beach, The Oregon Coast

Aside from our trip to the coast there were other fun things that we did. For those of you on Facebook you can see more of our photos there. Here are some of your Thanksgiving Day highlights. The kids ended up taking most of the photos, so some of them are kind of wacky, but I actually love them! We had a great time.
Jesse, our RM. It was great to have him back home.

Here are all of the grand kids that were there.

It was really fun to have Grandma & Grandpa Dunn there.

We had a wonderful time with our family, and really enjoyed spending so much time with our kids. It is amazing to us how quickly they are growing up and what wonderful personalities they have developed. We have been mindful this year as we have gone thru certain trying times that we have so much to be grateful for and we were certainly thinking about our many blessings these past few weeks thru the Thanksgiving season.
As my brother in law would say- "Peace out!"
