Thanksgiving in Walsh

We left after school on Tuesday and headed down to Walsh.  It was actually tough to leave just because we were scrambling to get Keara some glasses before we left but somehow we made it out the door.  We actually got stopped twice for a broken headlight but fortunately no ticket.  Grandpa and Grandma were happy to see us and we were them. 

Grandpa is losing his hair now but really is as handsome as ever.  Mitch and Lieu came down as well that night so the cousins got to maximize their time together. Zeb and Mitch took the kids to climb Two Butte's Mountain which is really just a big hill but they had a great time.  The weather was gorgeous so we got to be outside a lot.  

Thursday brought Curtis and Amy, Sue, Uncle Alvi, and the Griffin family who all joined us for Thanksgiving dinner.  Phyllis made a great feast and we were quickly full.  There were mean games of Nertz (card game) going for most of the time in Walsh.  I always volunteer to play and be the loser so no one feels bad.  It's my duty and I do it well. 

We left on Friday so I could begin the holiday shopping as our time is short this year.  Had a great time in Walsh and look forward to seeing the family again soon.

Really just a big hill? Spoken like a woman who didn't climb it! At almost 4800 feet, Two Buttes towers over the high points of at least 17 other states! And the kids had to conquer their fears to reach the summit! (Okay, so it was a fear of snakes, but, still!)
