Thanksgiving 2008

Scott had to work Thanksgiving evening at "the bureau" so we enjoyed an early afternoon dinner in Cheyenne. On Friday, Scott, Nolan and Barrett watched "Kung Fu Panda" at a free showing put on by our realtor's company each year (and Kelly even hit a 5 am sale!!!). Then in the afternoon, we loaded up and headed up to our traditional evening in Estes Park for the Holiday Light Parade. We joined the masses who headed up the hill from Denver for the evening and once again the great people of Estes did not disappoint.

We then headed down the mountain and spent the night in Westminster. Saturday morning, we stopped to watch one of our Cheyenne hockey teams play Boulder in a tournament and then headed up the mountain to Evergreen for our family holiday dinner at cousin Tammy's house.

Jack, Tom, Marcus, Kelly, Nolan, Barrett and I then ran back down the mountain to watch DU play Air Force in hockey. Aunt Darlene was nice enough to babysit Travis. The game was great, and the boys got to see the last of their old Billings Bulls junior players play for the Air Force team. Sunday morning, we got rolling pretty early to get back up to Cheyenne in time for hockey practice in the afternoon.

It was a great weekend, and we continue to be so thankful to have family nearby and to be so close to the mountains that we can go up and down them several times in a few days.
