We ate our delicious meal at the Adventure Center by candlelight. We kept to tradition and went around the table and said what we are thankful for…

All in all it was a wonderful thanksgiving away from home, spent with delicious food and amazing people!

Miss you all and hope your thanksgiving was as full of fun and love as ours was! 

Happy Turkey Day!!!
