We enjoyed a lovely dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Scott, Tyson and his family, and Aunt Jessica on Sunday, November 14 and another lovely dinner with Grandpa Dennis and Grandma Susan, Grandma Hendricks, and Rachel and her family on Sunday, November 21. And then all the grandparents left town: the Scotts for New Mexico to visit Ethan's family and the Grovers for Boston to visit Jason's family. Since our little family was on its own for Thanksgiving, we decided to skip town ourselves and make a vacation of it.
We stayed at an Airbnb in Soda Springs Wednesday, November 24-Saturday, November 27. During the course of our vacation, Seth introduced us all to a ridiculous and funny series called Centaurworld. We watched the Bilbo fan cut of The Hobbit. We played Sorry, Mao, Numenera (our tabletop roll-playing game), Screen Cheat and lots of Goldeneye. We had our own psuedo-Thanksgiving dinner with a delicious casserole and other fixings. The day after Thanksgiving, we joined all the other people who thought it would be a good idea to soak at Lava Hot Springs after a day of gluttony. Before we drove home on Saturday, we watched the manmade geyser go off, tasted the soda water at Hooper Spring and saw the Oregon Trail ruts just outside of Soda Springs.
