Thanksgiving with the Parents


So both the Borgesen and DeRop clan made it to South Florida for Turkey Day this year...under the guise of seeing their kids but we really know it was for the weather:-)



We decided to show them the highlights of the Everglades by taking a tram ride through local park...and within a few feet of our departure we saw our first friendly gator!





And then we saw another one....and another one....and then it was like alright, enough gators...











and then finally some big birds....









Mom and Pap Borgesen in the glades...





Then came the big Turkey day event...the couldn't believe we celebrate it outside since there was snow in both Wyoming and Utah before they left! So after last year's turkey jerky, we made a decision to cook back up roast....fortunately both turned out perfect this year!!








Nothing like Thanksgiving outdoors....














So to work off all the food...well, maybe not really work off, but to play some...we made quick trip to beach!



So the mama's searched for sea shells...





And the papa's sat and read....




And I kept dog entertained.....




To sum it up...it was a great and rare Thanksgiving with both families present...good times!
