A Utah Thanksgiving

Kevin's Birthday was on Thanksgiving this year, so we decided to go up to Utah and visit his family. It had been a few years since we had spent Thanksgiving with them, and it was so fun to see them.
We went Ice Skating at the new mall that they built in Kaysville The kiddos had never been ice skating before, and they had a blast!

 For Thanksgiving dinner, we went up to Snowbasin lodge and they had a wonderful buffet with lots of yummy food!

 On one of the nights, we went to Gardner Village and ate at yummy Archibald's. Afterward, they had a elf scavenger hunt for the kids to do around the shops.
 We drove down to Utah Valley, and drove up into the mountains to see one of my favorite spots, Sundance. When I was at BYU, I would drive up here with my roommates and just relax. It is so beautiful!










 At Bridal Veil Falls

 We met friends of ours from residency at a Fun center and the kids had fun playing with each other.
 Kimmy, Megan, Lucy, Erik, Austin, Jordan, Elise, and Cole

 We went downtown Salt Lake and took the kids to the Conference Center

It was a wonderful Thanksgiving break!
