We made the long drive to California for Thanksgiving this year. Driving went well and we enjoyed pretty good weather on our trip. The kids did great in the car. We enjoyed a short stay in Turlock and had a great turkey dinner there with Grandpa Bob and Grandma Ingrid. The kids had fun of course jumping on the trampoline, playing with toys and puzzles. Unfortunately we didn't get to see as much of the cousins as we wanted due to lots of sicknesses going around. While we were there my dad was able to ordain me a high priest which was pretty cool.
We stayed the last 4 days in a cabin in the woods up in Arnold, CA. There was snow on the ground but it wasn't too cold. Our cabin didn't have central heating so we relied on a wood burning stove to stay warm. That was a new experience and kind of fun. Arnold was a nice place and we spent Thanksgiving in a nice cabin with Julie's family, my mom and my aunt Leslie. We enjoyed some smoked turkey and brisket. Sarah made rolls and a butterscotch pie.
On our last day we went on a hike through the Big Trees in the snow with Heather's family. We had a great time and got some apple cider donuts afterwards. The drive back was long but it went pretty smooth. It was a short trip but we were grateful to see most everyone for a little bit.
