The only problem with the flight was that our kids thought that their headsets miraculously transformed them into Hannah Montana....
at first it was really sweet, but it got old really fast!!! Jt got to fly....
and he was so proud!
We stayed at the St Reggis, ( so beautiful!!!)
The kids loved the fountains,
and ran around searching for belle and the Beast after seeing this ceiling...
but Sam's favorite adventure had to be the safe. now you see me...
now you don't.
the night we got to Ca I met up with some of my greatest friends!!!
and Carrie and Allison brought their babies!!!!! Aw aren't they cute!!!
the next morning bright and early Michelle and Kevin came by and picked me up to run the turkey trot with them.
I registered for the 3K, but changed my mind thanks to some urging from Michelle, and ended up running the 10K instead. I thought i was going to die at the 3 mile mark when i realized i wasn't even halfway done....
but strangely enough after that it got better....
The rain made it soooo fun, it was soo funny to be dripping,(almost swimming) along the road with all these crazy people. It was awesome!!! I am going to do it every year! And how did i fair you are wondering??? Well i came in less than a minute behind Michelle, it took me just over an hour to complete it.... and i didn't walk once! So i think i did great;-) we were tired wet and cold after the race, but we were all proud!
We headed up to aunt Karen and Denis' house that afternoon....it is truly a beautiful place!
We had tons of family there... we played up in the loft with the Little kids for a while...
the boys found the Nerf toys right away....
and here are their victims....
some of us were lucky enough to have found a place to play outside the warzone.
We seemed to have used most of our energy before eating and eating!
After our bellys were full we were all ready for quieter activities...Jeremy serenaded Scott
the boys watched football
girls visited
and Ruth busted out her jewelry, and the ladies shopped.
all in all it was a great thanksgiving!
the fallowing day We went down to the beach...the kids refused to wear bathing suits but they should have...
Aunt Ali found the perfect tripod for her camera:)
It was a great day.
And a great trip!!! Miss you all, but will see you next month when we get to meet baby Evan!

what a fun thanksgiving and I bet the kids were in heaven between being Hannah Montana and a pilot and searching for Belle in the castle- and that is all before having fun with the cousins!
Also, good job on the race!
