We had Thanksgiving with Darrin's family in Pioche, NV this year. A six hour drive. For those who don't know Pioche is about 80 mile's west of Cedar City. Darrin grew up 30 mile's east of Pioche in a small ranching community called Ursine...most of them just call it Eagle Valley. Brigham Young had called on some families to settle this valley in 1865. His mom's side of the family The Lytles were among those. Darrin just might have some religious ties after all. LOL!
Darrin's brother and wife hosted Thanksgiving at their home. Kind of a mixed bunch with the Cole family, his wife Penny's family. Plus some hunters that were on a guided hunt with Penny's brother in-law. Penny had everything decorated so cute. I wish I had the talent she does.
You have probably heard Riley talk about her cousin's, especially Clay. "The handsomest boy in town" is what she says. She has always clung to Clay, but at least this trip she branched out and played with her other cousin's. Although Paris got mad because Ry wanted to play with the boys Drew and Kenny.
Riley went on her first hunting adventure. All of the cousin's went bunny hunting. Riley called it "bunny bashing" I was way surprised at her enthusiasm to go considering she loves animals so much...she probably named them all before they shot them though.
Riley loves ribs. On they way down cow's off the side of the road. Riley asked if those were the cow's rib's come from. That was just the start of a million questions...Do they have to kill them first? Do the rib's grow back? How, why, when and where? Do they get ribs from the baby cows? Were just a few. Hopefully we are done with the rib questions for awhile.
On the way home we stopped by a huge pile of gravel to let the dog out. Riley had more fun climbing up and sliding down on her bum than she did at Disneyland last year. We know where we are going on our next vacation. "The Gravel Pile" WA-HOO! Sign up now if you want to come along. LOL!This is the sunset when we were drinving home. Awesome!
