I don't have any pictures for this one although I know that our family documented this event and I would love to have copies of what they took.
Spencer, Stetson and I were a little spontaneous and drove home for Thanksgiving. It was a lot of driving, 28 hours to be exact, but it was so worth it!
We left Burien, WA Wednesday afternoon and drove to Middleton, ID. Surprising my parents and little brother when we showed up at about 10pm. We stayed the night and then awoke early so that we could make it to Riverton, UT in time to share Thanksgiving dinner will ALL of Spencers family. They were not as surprised as my parents because Mom Wade is too intuitive. But they were all happy and excited to see us. Oh, I should say that one member wasn't there and that is Elder Paul Wade who is so faithfully serving his mission in Wehpeton, ND. We are so proud of how hard he is working.
Friday was are only day without driving and we enjoyed it by spending time with Mom & Dad Wade. Talking about one of our favorite topics food storage and the last days. Once you get involved in this kind of stuff you either love it and can't stop thinking about it, like us. Or hate the mention of the subject. Hopefully you feel like us and just want to be prepared and ready for whatever may come, capable of taking care of your family. What a blessing it is to be prepared with a little food and camping supplies, or a lot. :)
That night we enjoyed a Pizza party with chef Dave (Spencers older brother) and most of his siblings. We had a lot of fun at there house playing Pictionary and eating yummy food. Stetson loved playing with all of his cousins. Spencer and I love watching him with other little rascals. Some-days we feel bad that he is the only little one we have. He would love to have other siblings. Hopefully that means he will be a great big brother.
Saturday was busy. I got a hair cut by sister Susan (Thank you so much!), Spencer enjoyed some one on one time with sisters and a fathers blessing from Dad Wade. We then enjoyed hours together in our car as we headed back to my parents house. Were several of my siblings were waiting to enjoyed more wonderful food and time together. It was so good to see everyone and enjoy what time we could with them.
We knew that it would be a short trip with lots of time in the car but really we were so blessed to have good travel conditions and a great time visiting with family. We feel like we packed a 2 week trip into 5 days.
Thank heavens for family's and the good times we can have together!!!
We only get to take our memories with us when we go, my as well make them good ones.
