tyler's first vacation week happened to be the week of thanksgiving. it was so fun having tyler around. we decided that instead of going somewhere big, we would do a little staycation around our area.
the first day of tyler's vacation we headed out to park city for a night. we found a great deal on a hotel, so we decided it was the perfect one-night stay for our family. we swam in the heated pools, grabbed some fast food where we attemped a group shot, watched a movie that night in the hotel and walked around the outlets the next day before heading home.
tyler and i had been talking about taking the kids to a fun indoor amusement park called jungle jims. we checked ksl where we found a deal and were on our way. the kids loved it.
thanksgiving day tyler and i didn't have a ton of cooking to do. we were in charge of the pies this year and had done most of the work the night before. so while tyle was out playing football, the kids and i talked about pilgrims.
i found this idea online. you write out a timeline of the pilgrim's voyage on pieces of paper, then flip the pages over and read about what happened. the kids thought it was really fun.
thanksgiving dinner this year was at the hedin's house.
our pies. tyler made the pomegranite and the caramel apple pie, and i made the pumpkin pie.
the whole gang. i didn't realize how dark this picture was until i looked at it later. katelyn and tanner are not shown because katelyn was sitting at the kid table on her own. tanner fell asleep on the couch.
for our vacation we also hit up ikea and worked on things around the house. it was so nice having tyler home!
