Thanksgiving 2010

Happy Thanksgiving 2010!

Another great feast and another great time to pause and remember all the things we're thankful for. We have so many blessings to be thankful for, especially family, friends, health, the gospel, and on and on...



We decided to take a quick trip to Branson again this year. We went down on Friday after Thanksgiving and came back on Saturday.

We went to the Yakov Christmas show.





We saw the Dixie Stampede Christmas show...



We also went to Wilson's Creek National Battlefield near Springfield, MO

For you history buffs. here's some info on Wilson's Creek battle:
It was the Second Major Battle of the Civil War.
It was the first major Civil War battle fought west of the Mississippi River.
It was the scene of the death of Nathaniel Lyon, the first Union general killed in combat.



And what would a trip to Branson be without riding the "wild woody" go-carts??






We had a great Thanksgiving and have much to be thankful for!

New Tae Kwon Do master in town?

Is Michael the newest Tae Kwon Do master?

Well maybe not "master" level, but he did recently advance to a yellow belt and broke two boards at the same time with his feet! The photos below show him breaking the boards.

Spencer also signed up last week and has started going to Tae Kwon Do as well. Watch out Jeremy & Bradley!

[PS, Tae Kwon Do is a martial art that originated from Korea and translates to "the way of the foot and fist".]
