Thanksgiving 2009

Well this Thanksgiving Grant and I did something we've never done before with or without a child. We made the 7-8 hour trip to Nebraska. This was Grant's first time ever there. He seemed to have a good time. My parents took Nolyn up with them since they were leaving before we were and we left after work and drove through the night. So we left around 5:30 Wednesday night and got there about 2-2:30ish Thursday morning. Grant caught up on his movie watching while I drove. He watched, I listened to, GI Joe, Angels and Demons (he had to keep pausing this one and explaining to me what was going on since I never read the book), Transformers 2, Bedtime Stories (This was the only one I actually got to watch), X-Men: Wolverine, The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. On the way home we actually had Nolyn. The drive went really well actually. While we were up there we watched a lot of football, played cards and just hung out. On Friday I took Grant to town and showed him a few places, this took all of about 10 mins, that just how small the town is. I showed him the park, the high school and the hospital where I was born. On saturday we started the morning with going to get professional family pictures done. This was for my Grandparents 55th wedding anniversery. My mom had us go ahead and get a family picture done of just the 7 of us because that will be the last time it will just be the 7. After all that we went to Red Cloud and had the Delka Family Thanksgiving. It was good to see everyone since this was the first time in 10 years I've been there for Thanksgiving. Here is a picture from the family Thanksgiving, my family is the ones in red. And let it be known that a lot of the family isnt there so this picture doesnt really do justice to how big the family really is.
