We had a super fun trip to Utah for Thanksgiving! We left at 2am both directions so the drives were not even too bad since the kids slept most of the time (although it took Quinn and I a couple of weeks after the trip to catch up on the lost sleep).
Our kids are always in heaven at my parents because there's a whole big house with a ton of toys and books to play with, plus a whole big yard to run around in. Whenever they wanted to go outside and play in the swing-set/trampoline/sandbox area of my parents' yard they'd say, "I'm going to the park, Mom!" Because where we live in San Diego the only place they've been with enough grass and sand and space to have a play structure is the playground at the park. I thought that was funny (though a little depressing at the same time--man has their childhood been different than mine was growing up in a farm town!).
My mom made and decorated sugar cookies with the kids.
Nathan rode up and down the sidewalk on a scooter at Tanya's in-laws and our friends the Fieldings for probably over an hour straight.
Benjamin just loved having multiple people to give him their undivided attention.
We had a beautiful and delicious Thanksgiving dinner.
Quinn took the kids on four-wheeler rides which is always a huge treat for them.
I took Nathan on a Mommy-Natey date to the Ideal Dairy for hot chocolate and from-scratch bagel breakfast sandwiches.
And we even stopped by the BYU Creamery for old-times sake while we were up in Orem car shopping.
It was one for the books!!
