This year we spent Thanksgiving in Grand Junction with my extended family. My mom and dad had a house full of crazy. Thanksgiving day we had 12 kids under the age of 11 (all but two kids under 6!) and 9 adults. I was so happy that my brother and his family were able to come at the same time as us-we don't get to see them very often since they live in NM. What a fun and wild ride!
We also visited the Nature Center in Fruita while we were there. The people were so friendly and answered all our questions about the animals.
Tiernan and Cameron were checking out the sting rays in this tank.
Jaxson started freaking out when we came to the python cages. I don't blame him! But then we realized he was actually afraid of a fake flower they had in there. Giant snakes, okay. Huge fake flowers, terrifying. Weirdo.
They liked looking at the turtle who loved to swim by and say hi.
Tiernan got to feed an iguana. So fun!
The boys all put on goggles that were supposed to replicate what bugs can see. What silly boys!
Jacob was so sweet to his younger cousins. I'm sure it's not easy being the oldest one!
While his cousins were cleaning out the guinea pig cage, Cameron got to hold "Oreo." He was so proud and I was impressed that she held so still. I am still answering questions about why we can't have a pet at our house. Are you freaking kidding me?
Oh my gosh, I LOVE this picture of Ethan and the twins passed out. It's funny that the kids both have their opposite arms sprawled out, like their lives are so difficult.
