Thanksgiving in Portland

This year we headed to Oregon to Steve's sister's house. They have 8 kids (4 of which are young boys) so obviously Luke and Carson had a grand time. Steve's parents drove down from Washington for a few days so It was good to see Grandma and Grandpa too. The drive wasn't bad at all. Our boys are pretty used to driving and did great. We enjoyed our yummy Thanksgiving dinner, inviting everyone to play in our hotel pool, Carson getting plenty of wrestling in, and the playing with all the toys in the basement. I only got two pictures at dinner:

Luke after eating his and Carson's mud pie. (In his defense he napped through dinner.)

Other than those the only time I remembered to take pictures was when we went to the Portland Zoo. If it looks wet and cold in the pictures it's because it was. It was pouring rain, but that's what is funny about pacific-northwesterners... It is always pouring rain, so you learn to deal with it. Despite the wet weather the kids had fun.

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving and will have a wonderful time getting ready for Christmas!
