Thanksgiving Trip - Playing with Cousins

On Sunday morning, me and Lucas went and played with toys by the fire.  Lucas loves having a fire in the fireplace so it was fun for him to be able to turn it on whenever he wanted.
We played with blocks.
And then practiced our jumping skills. I love this picture.
On Monday, we went to the dinosaur museum with Ava, Penelope, and Rose.  Lucas was a little terrified that the dinosaurs would come to life and start chasing him, like they do on Night at the Museum, but he calmed down after a while.  

 Playing at the sand and water table.  I'm not sure why the best activities always have to be the messiest.
 Another messy activity, digging for dinosaur bones.
 Later that night we went to this sporting good store called Scheels.  It was just built in Draper this year and it's actually pretty amazing.  It's huge and has pretty much anything you could need that is sports and outdoor related.  And it has a huge Ferris wheel inside.  I had Dash and Lucas with me in my chair.  They were a little scared, but we had a good time.
 And here's Ryan posing with his favorite animal of all time, a Grizzly Bear.  We may make this our Christmas card picture.  :)
 On Tuesday, Lucas, Paige, and I all got colds.  I think over half the family got sick at one point during the week.  It put a damper on things and we didn't get to do nearly as much as we had hoped since we spent a lot of time over the next few days taking turns sleeping and taking care of sick babies.  We did venture over to Mike and Jessica's house to let the kids play, though.
 Lucas was in heaven having new toys and kids to play with all the time.
 Here's all the cousins that were there for Thanksgiving, except for Rose who really was not feeling well enough to get her picture taken.
 We had pizza for dinner, and it was seriously the biggest pizza I have ever seen.  This picture does not do it justice. It fed three families and there was still pizza left over.
Stay tuned for the rest of the trip, there will be at least one, maybe two more installments.

Sounds like you had fun. I'm sorry that you got sick during your vacation. I've been curious about Scheels. That place is huge. I'll have to go there sometime.

That big pizza looks yum. The picture of Ryan and the bear makes me laugh.
