Thanksgiving in Denver

We woke up really early on Wednesday (23rd) and drove to Denver.  The roads were great and we didn't have any problems.

Here is what we saw when the sun came up:

 

Thanksgiving morning we went bowling.  This is tradition and so much fun.  We were shocked when we got there because usually there is a line but there wasn't this year.  It did get busy when we were leaving.

This was Ethan's typical "waiting for the ball to hit something" pose:

 I actually did pretty well!

Courtney had so much fun with her little cousins.

 Dinner was wonderful and we sat around playing games, watching movies and watching football.  It was a great holiday!

On Friday, we went to the movie "Magical Creatures..."  It was a good movie and we had a lot of fun watching it.

On Saturday, we went on a hike.  The view was beautiful and it was great to be out.  Courtney loved helping Clara.

Ethan on his perch...

On Friday night we noticed that the weather was going to be really bad on Sunday for our planned drive home.  After watching it for a couple of days we decided it would be best if we left on Saturday afternoon instead.  We were bummed but it turned out to be a great decision.  Our van wasn't prepared for the bad weather and Sunday was pretty bad in some areas.  We arrived home around 11 p.m. on Saturday.

It was a fun holiday and we loved seeing everyone!
