Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving, the Whitworth clan all drove up to Beaver's Bend State Park in Oklahoma and stayed in some cabins for a few days. Hannah had a wonderful time playing with her cousins and the food was awesome. I, however, had a terrible migraine that lasted ALL of Thanksgiving day, and then came back the next afternoon. As a result, we ended up leaving the night before everyone did. They gave me a pretty hard time about it, but I simply couldn't take any more and needed to go home. Nevertheless, I did actually manage to have a good time and I'm really glad we went.

Then Emery had to join in the fun. They almost look like triplets... creepy

They tried really hard to have a campfire, but the wood was just too damp. It was very disappointing.

Unfortunately, these are all the pictures I have. The next day was a great day for taking pictures, but of course, I pulled out my camera and it was dead. Typical. But anyway, the next day we all climbed in the vans and drove around. The park is really beautiful, and we were able to find a recreation area where we found a train through the woods and went for a ride. At the same place they also had horseback riding, which we all really wanted to do, but it was super expensive. Thankfully the kids were all really good and there weren't any melt downs over not being able to go for a ride. After the train, we played at a little park, and then found a spot on the river where we could play on the bank. They boys practiced their rock skipping abilities and the kids threw rocks in the water. It was a really fun morning! I really wish I'd been able to get some pictures!
