Thanksgiving 2012

 We celebrated Thanksgiving at our house this year. We built a giant fort and slept in it.

The kids loved playing games and watching movies.

 Nathan cooked us a delicious Thanksgiving dinner.

 We also went for a hike in Zion. We hiked Watchman trail. It was a first for all of us. It was a nice hike, just right for the day.

 Beautiful views!

 A nice man on the trail offered to take our picture. It isn't very often that we get a 

family picture while hiking.

After dinner we went to my brother Joey's house and visited with family. It was a great Thanksgiving!

One of my favorite parts of Maryland was our tour of the ship "Constellation". It was a ship from the civil war time. It was so cool!

 It was neat to imaging being on-board at that time.

 It was huge. Four decks.

 Jonny learning about the pumping system on the ship.

 There was a "hospital' area where they had tools for amputation and tools for pulling teeth. Yikes!

 ARRGGHH Matey!

 We also toured Fort Mchenry. It was great to learn about the history and be able to see exactly where it happened.

 I loved the flag they had. It was a replica of the flag that hung back then. It only had 13 stars and it was huge.

It was a great place.

We took a water taxi one night, just for fun. 

 We got to see the ships and buildings.

 There was a beautiful sunset.

 It got a little chilly

It was a beautiful evening.
