Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving! We were able to spend the day with some friends who also stayed in town. This seems to be our "tradition" since we've not been able to go "home" for Thanksgiving for the past 3 years. Each year (and we've been with different friends and different bases each year!) we've spent the day with some great friends!

Our meal was delicious and we had enough leftovers that we all got together again on Friday to do it again! :)

Then we went to Walmart at midnight for some crazy Black Friday shopping! I was also able to drag Grant into Boise on Friday for a few other things, even though I did most of my shopping online! It's great because many of the deals were available on Thanksgiving day and I didn't have to leave my house in the wee hours of the morning!! Wanna know my best Black Friday deal?!?....

So excited for delivery!!!

Visitors!

Wes, Katie, & Brianne (Grant's brother and his wife & daughter) came to visit from the 10th through 14th! It was great to be able to spend some time with them and show them a little bit of Idaho. Unfortunately, Wes had the flu on Thursday, so that was a lazy day for all of us.

Friday we headed to base to show them the squadron and watch a few jets take off. Then we headed out toward the Bruneau Canyon Overlook, which we've been to before, but it's pretty neat so we wanted to show Wes & Katie. On the way there, the road crosses through part of the Air Force's bombing range, and we were lucky enough to see two A-10s practice shooting their guns (I'm sure there is a better term for it, haha!). They would fly down super low, shoot their gun, and then fly back up pretty quickly. We could even hear the guns. It was pretty cool!

Saturday, Grant and I had jet photos, so Wes & Katie took a short trip to Sun Valley for the day. We all met back up Saturday afternoon and ordered pizza and hung out for the night. They left early Sunday morning. Hopefully they enjoyed their stay in Idaho. We enjoyed having them! :)
