Havasu Thanksgiving!

Happy (late!) Thanksgiving from our family to yours!  Once again, we have so much for which to be thankful!  Health, family, a church we love, great friends, our home, and so so so much more!  We were grateful to once again escape for a few days to Lake Havasu and spend Thanksgiving with some family!
 
The weather was quite a bit cooler than last year, but it couldn't keep the kids and the dads out of the heated pool.  On the side sat all the moms and grandmas bundled up as if it were about to snow!
 
Thanksgiving lunch was at one of our favorite restaurants, The Springs, and it was delicious!  No one left disappointed or hungry!  And the best part was someone else did all the preparing and cleaning!  Faith enjoyed having Grandma Poelstra and her friend Anna with us!  I don't have any pictures of it,  but for dinner that evening we all brought an appetizer to share.  Shane discovered a love for smokie links, and we all fell in love with Brittany's buffalo chicken dip!  All the appetizers were tasty and enjoyed by all!  It was a fun way to end the day!
 
After the noon meal on Thanksgiving, we went over to the Parker Dam to check it out!  Everyone is looking at the water from the lake traveling into the dam.
 
I don't know what he's telling her, but it's probably something he learned on Wild Kratz, a show on PBS!  Both Shane and Haley have a love for that show!
 
In addition to all going out for Thanksgiving, we also all went out for dinner Friday night to the Golden Horseshoe!  They had the perfect table for our group of 16!!
 
The birthday girl enjoyed her dinner out with all the family!
 
It was a wonderful weekend filled with food, family, and fun!  We were thankful so many wanted to join us at the lake for a bit of a non-traditional Thanksgiving weekend!
