Thanksgiving in Utah

This year was our year to be with the Leatherwood clan for Thanksgiving.  Unfortunately, Dad and Ruby weren't there but we look forward to next year.  We left early on Wednesday and returned on Sunday.  It was a great time and we did some fun things with the kids.  Enjoy!


All done eating and time to play with cars.
 

 Kinley in her cute Turkey dress.  As my sister, Lisa, said, "Only you would find a pink dress with a turkey on it for Thanksgiving!" :)


After dinner, Kinley got herself all wet and had to be changed.  Kinley is sitting on Marshall's desk, looking for daddy to bring her some clothes.
 

On Saturday we took the kids and met Lisa and Mallory and Marshall at the train stop.  We took Utah Trax downtown to look at lights and have some fun.  Here, Colton is enjoying the high speed train.
 

 Our first stop was the Gateway Mall.  Colton saw Bob the Builder as we were eating lunch.  The kid loves Bob the Builder.


After lunch, we headed to the Gateway Children's Museum.  Hours of fun was spent there, starting with the real helicopter on top of the building.  
 

The kids loved playing on the helicopter and checked it all out.  Here Kinley found a little hiding place that fits her perfectly.

The museum was full of discovery zones.  Here Marshall and Colton are using coffee filters and seeing what happens when they put them in a tunnel of air.
 

Up it goes!

 This house was awesome.  The kids had so much fun playing with all of the appliances that were just their size.


Mallory came by to borrow some milk :).
 

And to give Kinley some flowers.
 

Once we left the Gateway we headed to Temple Square.  Every Christmas Temple Square is full of lights.  Colton loves lights and always asks to drive around and see them so he was a little overwhelmed when he saw that nearly every tree, bush, even grass was filled with lights.
