thanksgiving in orem!

This year we had thanksgiving in orem with my family. We slept in Eagle Mountain at derek's sister Bridgette's house and made some bean dip and fruit salad in the morning. We headed to happy valley at about 11 and got there at 12. We played a little Super Mario World then prepared for the feast! We had so much good food!

Grandma and Don


Tanyail, Shaelynn, and Tlyncia


Cute little tayvin with his mouth full...


Me and Derek

After dinner we were way too full to eat dessert so we went outside to play pickle! Pickle is our childhood game that consists of a big rubber ball, 2 base blankets, and the more people the better!


The two people in the middle toss the ball to one another while the other players are on the bases. But watch out cuz after 5 throws if the runners haven't run they are live bait!




The runners can run whenever they want...

the trick is to just try not to get hit!




There is never any mercy!

if you are not tough enough you don't play...




you either play...




... or you sit next to grandma


After the game we had too much pie and ice cream, and while everyone went to twilight for the second time... me and derek headed back to the equality state, good ole WYOMING!
