November 2010

In the middle of November, we took a flight back to Lancaster, PA to spend 3 weeks with Michelle's family. We spent Thanksgiving with everyone, did the whole black Friday shopping spree, a trip to the cabin, etc. We even went to NYC on Michelle's birthday to see the Radio City Music hall's Christmas Spectacular. (NYC will be in December, cause technically the trip took place the following month). So, PA . . .

Thanksgiving started out with an early morning Turkey Trot. Michelle's brother, his wife Lija, dad, and the two of us all ran a 5K on Thanksgiving morning. It was FREEZING! When we got to the race, it was sleeting/snowing. However, we were both personally successful in the race.

Michelle has been running for a few months, so she was ready for the race. She came in right behind her dad at about 25 minutes.

Wes did no training for the race and more or less got off the couch and ran. He finished at about 28 minutes. Awesome!

Thanksgiving happened to fall on my grandpa's birthday this year. Sid thought he would help him with the cake. I love these types of pictures. Oldest and youngest generations.

Wes fell asleep on the chair, so Sid thought he would mimic him. Boy do they learn young!

We headed to my parent's cabin in Pottery County after Thanksgiving. It snowed the day we got there and stayed the entire time. It was wonderful!

Wes and I introduced the family to Geo-Caching. There are sites that tell you where hidden boxes are that you locate through GPS coordinates. This one was incredibly hard to find because of the snow. However, the adventure was well worth the trip.

One of my favorite things about the cabin is that both deer and bear come right on to the property.
