You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. some may be significant only to you. some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. - President Hinckley

Vaction for Thanksgiving!

Getting ready for a vacation is always a disaster.  Buying food (good food for traveling that the kids love) getting headphones in order with batteries, picking enough movies to stay entertained, etc.  But it is a blast.  We told the kids this year we were only going to Arizona to see the cousins on Travis' side of the family and also Grandma and Grandpa Chesley. 
 
What they didn't know is that we were detouring through Newhall, CA to see Lynn and Jake for a few days and go to Magic Mountain one more time on our passes from last year.  Trish and Matthew were also going to CA for the week so we told the kids that we were caravaning with them because it is safer to drive together.  We followed eachother for a day and a half.  We split up about 10 minutes before arriving at Lynn's.  They had to use the bathroom so we stopped at one place to grab some new headphones and then I told them we could stop in at Aunt Lynn's to use the bathroom ....we went in and I announced the whole plan - they didn't even seem that surprised....but it turned out to be a lot of fun.  Great memories were made for sure!
