Thanksgiving @ Quail Lake Reservoir

This year we spent Thanksgiving @ Quail Lake Reservoir. We had a great time with Mom and Kelly and also Kalie and her boys! I did have a slide show up with photos, but no one was able to view them or the slide show took forever to load, so I just decided to removed it. Sorry, but I do believe Kalie is going to post about the trip as well so you should still be able to see some photos!

We arrived late Wednesday night after a very LONG drive down. It's crazy at how many people travel during the holidays! It was rush hour all the way through Spanish Fork! I was amazed at Kelly with putting up our tent in pitch dark!

Thursday we woke up to overcast weather, then it started to rain mid morning and rained all day long! Bummer, but we made the best of it! Mom and Kalie cooked an excellent Thanksgiving Feast complete with turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, yams, corn.. the works! Kalie and Mom even made some yummy pies.. I of course purchased mine! Everything I contributed was store bought .. corn, rolls and the apple pie. I guess I'm not trusted in the kitchen. Kelly and I slept in the trailer Thursday night due to the cold and the tent being soaked.. from both the weather and our little Rosie having an accident!

We went into town Friday to pick up a view things and to do some laundry. We had a lot of wet clothes and we wanted to wash our sleeping bags since Rosie had an accident. The guys stayed behind and went fishing. My step dad Kelly ended up catching 5 fish with KJ and Jesse catching nothing! Don't talk to them about it though, it is still a sore subject!

A tradition my Mom has when they camp for Thanksgiving is they decorate a tree and have the lighting of the tree .. Jesse helped her decorate it with putting all the ornaments right next to each other! The saddest part was when Mom took the decorations down on Sunday morning, Jesse came by with a sad face and said in an upset/crying voice "Where is the Christmas tree?" Mom and I almost started to cry it was so cute/sad.

Saturday was the best day as far as weather goes. We spent the day relaxing and having a Horse Shoe Tournament. Kalie and Jesse still remain the reigning champions! Ended the day with more fishing, Jesse caught one.. but Kelly still ended up empty handed. Mom called him a loser!

Our Rosie was amazing! She has been a great dog period, but for being only a 5 month old puppy, in a new place, surrounded by lots of people we thought she would go crazy .. but she surprised us all! She did have the one accident in the tent, but she had been in there all day b/c of the rain .. so it was really our fault.

Thanks Mom and Kelly for everything! Kalie and the boys, we always have so much fun with you guys! I was so happy that Jesse was Andee's Boy this weekend! We love you all! We missed the rest of the family! Especially the festivities of an oven catching fire at my Dad's! Hope you all had a great holiday!
