Thanksgiving weekend!

The weekend of Thanksgiving was fun this year! My sister Angie was taking a road trip with her son Caden down to California and made a stop up here for Thanksgiving and fun on the coast! It was so nice for me to have some of my family for Thanksgiving! After dinner we drove to Lincoln City and stayed at this lodge right on the coast for 3 nights. Angie and I of course had to go to the outlet mall there and do some midnight-3:30 a.m. shopping, and it was great because it was not nearly as busy as it was last year when we all went up to Park City. And this year we actually found things we wanted to buy!
We hung out relaxing...well most of us did. Dave was in a lot of pain because he played in the turkey bowl and he fell into the end zone with the ball going into his chest. A week later we found out he had broken two ribs! I think he has met his quota of injuries for the rest of the year! No more biking until January. He is pretty grumpy about that. Riding the bus isn't nearly as fun!
Other than that we had great fun eating at Mo's, going to the Oregon Coast Aquarium, swimming, hanging out at the beach, and waking up to Angie pacing the floor repeating the words "block the kick, block the kick, block the kick!" (referring to the BYU Utah game). It wasn't televised in Oregon and the only way we were following it was through Angie's phone. Then Caden yells "They blocked it they blocked it!" And we all jumped around the room, well mostly Angie and Caden did! Ah, sweet victory! I think this was the real reason they won.

We found these Utah shirts RANDOMLY at the Old Navy outlet on the Oregon Coast with only their sizes left. It must have been destiny!
Angie took some great family pictures for us, which we desperately needed. She is a fabulous photographer and these are some of my favorites!







And a couple funny things from our fun weekend!
