Matt and I went to Austin, TX to spend Thanksgiving with my family. We had a fantastic time with everyone and I must say, man can my sister cook!!! I miss them dearly.
Matt, Steve Pearson’s family, and I drove out to Filmore, CA to ride the Train and cut down our Christmas tree. This train had a Steam Engine from 1913 and train cars from the 1920s and 1930s. I loved it! The water fountains on the train were really neat too. We had a 45 minute train ride to the Christmas tree farm. Then we roamed the farm and found our perfect tree to cut down. I felt like Clark Griswald in Christmas vacation. All of us had such a great time. Here are some pictures below:

Matt and I took Jack on the Hike to the Bridge to NoWhere. We only hiked about 3 miles in and 3 miles back because the trail is rough on his paws. We had a great time and loved the hike. The weather was perfect and Jack loved swimming in the water. We had a lot of laughs and good moments on this hike. I can’t wait to do it again.
water crossing!
I went to Disneyland California Adventure with the Caudill Family. It was my first time to go to this park. I had a great time, but I like the other park much better because there is more to do. They had my favorite Disney show there called It’s a bug’s life. I absolutely love this show! I went on the Ferris Wheel with swinging carts and did not like it very much. I loved the view, but not the so much the swing.
