Thanksgiving 2013

It has taken me a while but I made it to the Blog before Christmas so that is something. Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. Everyone was here except for our Texas kids but I hear the Scharmanns took good care of them and they had a great time.
We had the Ma/Chan group here too and plenty of food and fun.
Here are some pictures.
A Race was planned. The first 2 grandma's house 2k included aid station refreshments and prizes picked out by Grandpa. The best part was running through the tape at the end.
Race numbers were given
 Running shirts were distributed
 The excitement was high




 And we ate and ate


Pilgrims even came
 Next day we rode Front Runner into Salt Lake City. Which started out ok, but as we were getting off the stomach flu hit poor Lily.  Mark and Rich got her cleaned up as best they could and headed back to Orem while the rest of us explored a very packed and busy Salt Lake City


 There was  the Church museum

 Temple Square
Then we ate at City Creek and at the adults were exhausted by then and we rode the train back home.
Since the stomach flu was now marching through the family (5 in all got it) most everyone headed out on Saturday to cut their losses before it got worse and I cleaned bathrooms and washed everything. I think we are safe to visit again.
But all in all we had such a great time. We love you all and are so grateful to be together.
Now on to Christmas! San Antonio here we come!

Phew!! Glad we missed the stomach flu. We had something like that two weeks earlier-- but more of a fever, awful body aches, influenza type flu. We had lots of fun at your house. Thanks again.

That was such a fun holiday! Thanks for all the work you put into making it perfect.
We somehow dodged the flu too, sorry about all who got it. :(

So glad we didn't get sick! That Turkey looked good! I am sad to miss the race. I love all the work you went to, sad I couldn't have reaped the benefits. But SO excited to have you for Christmas!!
