Thanksgiving was just Beachy!

This year we decided to do something a little different for our Thanksgiving and we rented a beach house in Newport. We stayed there with Grandma GiGi and Grandpa...but we lucked out even more when Travis, Blair and their families came to hang out with us. The weather was beautiful, sunny and 70 degrees...not bad for November. The beach was like a ghost town and we had things all to ourselves. We just hung out on the beach, walked along the boardwalk to the pier (it was a good thing we brought out scooters along!), looked at the seals and dolphins and enjoyed the great company. Karlee and Rylee tried out a wetsuit that we rented along with a boogie board and loved surfing and swimming in the ocean. We all had a blast playing a wiffle game together too. We spent the last couple days at Grandma's house and enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at Aunt Nancy's, a bit of shopping, going in Travis & Katie's hot tub and taking family photos. Thanksgiving Day we started out at the annual Turkey Trot. Travis and Jake ran the 10K and rocked it...so awesome! Karlee & Rylee ran the 5K in 34 minutes...wow, you go girls! Spencer, Audree & Bristol ran the kids 1K...Spencer came in 5th out of like 150 kids...speedy! We were so grateful for the opportunity to meet and snuggle with the newest Nemrow too...welcome to the family Brielle...we love you so much already. The week went by so fast and suddenly it was time to go back home. We are so grateful for our family and the fun times we get to have with all of them...we truly are so blessed.
