Getting Ready for Thanksgiving

Today our living prophet, President Russel M. Nelson, spoke on the healing power of gratitude:

I found the message to be very beautiful and am looking forward to finding way to be grateful this next week as I get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family.

Neil's friends visit

Our friends from Seattle were in town visiting for a work conference in Park City and they stopped by our home and stayed with us for a day. We loved seeing them and getting to have our boys play together. There was a lot to do at our home-- play with legos, practice baseball, enjoy the chickens, and read together. Hope to have them visit again next time they are here for a work trip or to ski.

Camping

This past weekend our family got to go camping with cousins, and we had a great time. We live in Highland Utah, which is near the American Fork Canyon entrance. We chose to go to the Timpooneke campsites, which is really close to us. We went there a couple times last year. The campsites are really nice. At each campsite is a concrete slab with a fire pit and picnic table, as well as flat ground to place your tent (plus walkable to drinking water, an outhouse, etc.). We went with David's sister's family and the kids loved gathering around the fire, playing games, and exploring together. We even got to take our paddle boards out to Tibble Fork Reservoir. Here are photos from our trip: Campground link: https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/231938

Fall Break in Las Vegas

For fall break, we packed up the boys and headed to Las Vegas for five days. We drove down Thursday and stayed one night at the Flamingo before spending the rest of the weekend at David’s sister’s house. It was a fun mix of family time, swimming, exploring Las Vegas, and getting outside. After arriving Thursday, we ate dinner, checked into the Flamingo, and headed out for a night on the Strip. We met up with David’s brother and his family and spent some time together in the garden at the Flamingo. The kids had glow noodles and were perfectly happy running around and playing while the older kids and adults got a chance to visit. We also rode the High Roller that night. It was fun seeing all of Las Vegas lit up from above, and the boys loved looking down at everything below. The next day we took advantage of our one night at the hotel and went swimming. The hotel was nothing fancy—we mostly picked the Flamingo because it was cheap—but the pool was fun, and that was really all we neede...
