Turkey day! One of the best holidays in my book. Mom and dad came up to SL a few days before, then we all drove down to southern Utah to be with grandma and other family for Thanksgiving. It was a feast! Aunt Wendy broke out the china, and cooked up a fancy meal for 30+ family members. We had parts of each family. Most of the Madsens, all of the Ludlows, half of the Clives, two of the fears, and all of the Jay Clark family. Only the David Clarks were missing. So many good memories were made that week. The boys played golf and went shooting. As a group we went to a trampoline place (probably my favorite part of the trip) where we played jumping dodge ball. That was a blast. Cousin Ruby got baptized. We all went and saw a movie. Lots of card and board games were played. Perfect family activities!
Scott and I stayed a few extra days so he could work down there. We also headed down to Vegas and stopped by Brandon and Amanda Smith's for a night. We always love our time together with them and baby Max.
It wasn't until our last night in St. George that we were ready to head home. Scarlett screamed all night in the hotel, which put us sitting in the parking lot so as not to wake the other guests. We were out there until almost 4am.. It was awful. But that was really the only glitch in our whole trip! It was a Thanksgiving to remember.
