Thankfully Sawyer was feeling better the next morning because on Wednesday we
went to the North Pole. Papa and Nana wanted to take the older grand
kids for a day at the amusement park. Sawyer had a BLAST! This event
deserves a post of it's own so more to come... Wednesday night Kyle made everyone homemade pizza then
we played a few card games.
Thursday was Thanksgiving.
My parents hosted the event and everyone brought a few side dishes. The
kids ate early and then went down for naps. During naps the adults
enjoyed a wonderful meal. Following the meal we took our traditional
walk then came home for desserts. The rest of the day was spent
watching football, looking at black friday ads, eating more dessert,
playing cards, and wrapping gifts.

Sawyer eating his Thanksgiving meal, curiously enough he does not eat well when we travel, the only thing he touched at Thanksgiving was broccoli which he normally refuses to eat |

an attempt at a grandparent pic but obviously the kids were done |
Friday morning we
made the trek back to Denver and flew home to Canton. We had a wonderful
time visiting family in CO. We packed a lot of fun stuff into a few
short days but we loved every minute of it (well except for the
nights...our kids never sleep well in new places, ugh)

I have fond memories of North Pole Land! We would always go there the weekend of my birthday, during a family reunion trip to Colorado. I'm sure Sawyer did love it - can't wait to take my kids there some day.
