Everyone came to Star Valley for Thanksgiving. They all arrived on Wednesday. The weather forcast indicated the best weather day was Thursday so we decided to get Christmas Trees before having turkey dinner. I was a nice day.
Grandma just couldn't find any trees.
We used the snowmobiles and found our trees. It was much easier than tromping through the forest.
Then it was time for some snowmobiling and tubing. The kids had lots of fun.
Todd got the price for the shortest tree.
Todd decided that Ivy needed a rest after Turkey Dinner.
Then Oakley had to teach Grandpa how to used the Ipad. What fun we had.
Gentry was hauling the candy for the parade around and protecting it. She was saving it for the parade.
Then whenever we were not on the snowmobiles going around the house, we were in the hot tub.
Even Grandma spent a little time with the kids, but she said they splash too much.
This was our first holiday that was consumed with Ipads and Ipods. We had so many at times on the network that we had to shut them all down and rebook the network so the online shopping could be done.
Saturday night of Thanksgiving weekend has always been the Holiday Light Parade in Afton. After the parad last year, the kids decided that they wanted to have a float in the parade.
So we put a golf cart and snowmobile on a trailer with lots of lights. We said "Star Valley is a great place WINTER OR SUMMER." They had 25 pounds of candy and managed to throw it all out.
It was a cold night, about 6 degress and I thought that they would rather watch than be in the parade. They assured me that particpating was better than watching and they want to do it again next year.
