Our Thanksgiving Trip


We decided to make the trek to Utah to see family for Thanksgiving.  Since we have lived in California we hadn't yet gone anywhere for Thanksgiving.  We spent the first part of our trip with the Prices.  All of the kids were in absolute heaven because they just love the Price cousins. I am so glad that Chanelle had Lucy because it is so fun for Annie and Clara to have girl cousins their age.


We had a dinner with all of the Utah Hansens at Erica's house.  It was so cute to see Russell with Harvey.  He is absolutely entranced to think that there are little boys, because all he knows is sisters.  Harvey just loved Russ too, it was really cute to see them together.

One of the nights we went down to Provo because it has been over 12 years since I have been down there and I really wanted to see what it was like.  It was so nostalgic to see all the things and places that were such a part of me growing up.  Then we took the kids to the Bean museum, which was so fun!  Clara especially loved seeing all the animals.  She is obsessed right now./
Russ had to get his picture with a blond bear because that is what he is!  I love this cute boy of mine.
There was a little play area that Clara loved to play on. She went down the slide at least twenty times.

After the Bean museum and dinner we went to the new Provo Rec Center which was amazing!  The indoor pool was so fun!  There was a whole play area and cliffs to jump off and a lazy river.  It was just too much fun.
Russ and Anne were beyond thrilled to play and were absolute daredevils. They were so cute.



Clara had the best time too. I was worried after how awful she was last summer with the pool but she didn't act that way at all. She had so much fun and was just the sweetest little thing even though it was actually past her bedtime.  It was a really fun trip.  Its just hard trying to split time with family because we could easily spend the whole time with either side.
