Utah Thanksgiving 2010


We made the most of JT's week long Thanksgiving break by heading to SLC. We landed in a blizzard and it took us a long time to clear the snow off our rental van. Driving to the hotel with zero visibility took almost as long as our flight as we were anxious to see Ryguy who had been waiting for hours...


The next morning we met Wawa and DT at the airport and headed straight to Tacanos for some serious feasting!

Then we were pleased to hear the world's shortest sermons from the old Tabranacle
Then on to the pool. Wawa is so cute at 4 months!!
Here we are inside...
...but the outside is our favorite!!
We arrived early for a Jazz game--
Exciting game--victory smiles all around!!
Just hangin'
DT's first Shumway reunion--he fit right in!!
Aunt Ruthie with Ryguy
The whole famdamily celebrating grandpa's 89th Birthday

Dad's Exciting Visit with the Newlyweds

2nd generation pumpkin head family...Dad knew he had arrived before going inside!!
Seven-mile bike ride around Medicine Lake
Time to get the jet ski off the lake...very fun to drive.
Just a few more circles to use up the gasoline...Dad and Laura just changed places and before Dad was hanging on, but it was time to turn. Kersplash! Into the 40 degree water went Dad. Both Dad and Jet Ski were quickly removed from the lake and on dry ground. Dad was thankful for a hot shower and dry clothes and the famous homemade Apple Cake!!


New ride!!
They watched the first 2 world series games together. Go Giants!!
Pumpkin time!!
Dad loved being with you!! Thanks for all the good food and company.
