Thanksgiving Weekend

We headed down to Kanab for thanksgiving and had a great time. We stayed with McKay's family at their condo. It was great to be where it was quieter. I am sure we missed out on most of the action at Grandma and Grand pa's and Mom even said that she hardly got a chance to hold Kaija. Sorry Mom. Anyway we had Thanksgiving dinner at the church because there was almost 60 of us there. The gym was freezing. It was warmer outside than in the gym. Dinner of course was abundant and delicious. We forgot to take any pictures of course but the shots above were that day. The Elementary is right by the church so Mikko took a few pics of Kaleb enjoying the swings.

The next day McKay planned a hike and Tom was our guide. I took Kaleb while Mikko took care of Kaija. The hike was to Water Canyon and it was a 2 mile up and 2 miles back. I was so shocked that Kaleb did so well. He enjoyed and we only had to hold him a few times. He was quite the hiker he even got stuck by a cactus but survived.

He loves being with his cousins That had a great time as you can see.

We made it to the end and there was fresh flowing water coming out of the rocks. We all filled our water bottles with fresh water and enjoyed some strawberries that cousin Lindsay brought.

Here is Kaleb walking with Tom he was having fun walking in front of him and not letting him pass. And the best part was the drive back as the kids were all exhausted and took naps!!
