A Wonderful Time

So for Thanksgiving this year we decided to venture down to Moses Lake, Washington to spend the holiday with the Kofoed's! We drove down with Gare's brother Derek and his girlfriend Courtney and it was the longest drive of my life. It took us about 15 hours each way because of the terrible weather. It was crazy how many cars we saw off to the side of the road and how many crashes there were, I got real nervous and decided to put my ipod in and close my eyes. Good news is we made it safe:]]


Me in the car being scared (notice the scary weather behind me)

It was so cold! On Wednesday the power even went out because of the temperature. Luckily it only lasted a couple of hours! It was also Garett's birthday on Wednesday, it was nice to be able to spend it with him and his family and of course we went to the famous Chicos, this little pizza place that everyone in Moses Hole goes nuts over. And funny enough they have really good fries, and COKE :]] Thanksgiving day was also really nice, a bit strange to be spending it with a different family, but awesome to be with them and learn new family traditions! Gare and his mom made turducken, that was a bit interesting, don't miss Garett's post about it below! The rest of the food was really good the only thing that was missing was Grandma Glory's macaroni :[[ Oh well I will have to wait until Christmas I guess. On Friday we all (Garth, Beth, Derek, Courtney, Keith, Mariah, Eddy & us) went to Leavenworth. Its this cute little German town in Washington, It has cute little shops and restaurants, it kinda reminds me of Park City or Midway. Anyway, it was really fun, they were even having a Christmas festival, it was all decked out in lights and they had live Christmas music under a little gazebo, it was cute. It was fun to walk around with the family and roam the shops and see pretty lights :]] We also got some really good hot chocolate!
