Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a blast for Thanksgiving weekend this past week! We decided to stay in San Diego this year and enjoy a Thanksgiving with just us and some friends. It ended up being so much fun. So since we were technically orphans all weekend it was nice to have friends there to help make it fun. On Thanksgiving Day, The Mendenhalls, good friends of ours, took us in along with some other friends and we enjoyed dinner over there. We watched a little football, the kids all played and had a blast with their friends, and we were able to have some adult conversations. It was nice. They had the little kids all set up in another room with a coloring page and crayons at their place setting on the table. I felt like we were at an official restaurant...

The next day we went to Highland Ranch park with some friends, the Reese's and Mendenhall families. We had a little picnic lunch and were able to play croquet and latter golf. I think that was the first time Brayden ever played croquet and he didn't do too bad. Our kids also enjoyed the playground of coarse and it was a blast to just hang out again with friends.

Finally on Saturday after cleaning up the house, putting up the Christmas tree and lights, we were invited to go for a hike with the Fisher's, our friends. They took us to a really cool hike on the cliffs at Torrey Pines. We had been to this beach several times as a family and it has been a spot I have frequently surfed at, but we had never seen the hiking trails up on top of the mountain before. So we hiked a little loop that was about a mile overlooking the ocean and high up on the trail. The kids all did surprisingly well and it was a blast. Thanks for the new adventure Fisher family!

It was a busy but fun weekend!!
