Thanksgiving Adventures

Thanksgiving this year was very eventful for our family.  We ate our feast with Casey's family in Idaho Falls.  It was so much fun to watch all the kids run around.  We played a game of "touch" football.  It was a bit of a ruff game, grandpa got knocked over, kids were being thrown into the goal posts and I rolled my ankle.... needless to say my team lost and Casey's team won.
The next day Casey got ready to go out hunting for Elk and I got ready to travel to Adrian to see my family.  Megan traveled really well and we had a great time.  Megan got all the attention she could ever wish for and I got a well deserved break from 100% mommy time :)
Casey headed out hunting with our friend Cory and it was a pretty uneventful trip until the last day.  They didn't see any animals until it was dark and they were just coming up to their camp for the night.  All of a sudden there were Elk!  Right in their own camp...... of course they were gone fast and you can't shoot them in the dark anyway.  Sunday they were packed and ready to come home but the roads were really muddy and the trailer got stuck, they had to leave it in order to keep going, but that plan didn't get them too far because of a flat tire..... after that their car starting making a weird noise so they stopped and hiked to find cell phone reception.  A few miles of hiking later they decided to go back to the car and drive it to the main road, there they were able to call a tow truck.  So, after Megan and I had driven from the west border of Idaho that morning we now had to drive to the east border to pick the boys up. 
What an adventure!!!

Now I really feel bad. Here I was all alone, I could have driven up there. I just didn't want to spend that night because of work the next day. Thanks for rescuing my husband. You are the best!
