Thanksgiving in Sun Valley

I know what you're all thinking...weren't we just in Sun Valley for a family trip? And the answer to that question is "yes we were." This past June we had the annual Taylor Reunion there. I'm still not quite sure why we had the reunion there when we all knew it was the year for Thanksgiving to be there. It turned out to be just fine, though. Rhaegan loves Sun Valley and loved the fact that you can ice skate in the summer and in the winter. That was her favorite part. We had about 50 family members for Thanksgiving dinner (which in my opinion is way too many), we all ate a lot of great food and the kids all enjoyed jumping on the unoccupied beds up in the loft area. It was a good holiday for us and hopefully for everyone else. Rhaegan got to open her birthday and Christmas presents from Grandma and Grandpa Taylor since they weren't going to be able to be with her on the actual days. Of course she loved them! Thanks Reed and Jackie!!
The ice skating was Rhaegan's highlight of the trip. She loved going around and around the rink. It was, however, a little bit straining on the backs of Shae and Reed having to bend over for so long. What troopers!

The skates were the cutest things ever. They were so little. I didn't go skating because lets face it, I hate being cold and pretty much any winter sport. I did love watching Shae and Rhaegan having so much fun together.

We then had a great time bowling. The bowling shoes were adorable there as well. Rhaegan found a Scooby Doo ball so she was trilled about the whole thing. 10 rounds of bowling with 8 little kids took about 2 hours though which was not so fun.


We had a great time. Thanks again Reed and Jackie for everything.

SO fun! Glad you had a great time. You should have come down to Cedar instead. We had a great time with Ashly, Mike, Brittani and Chris! Maybe we'll see you around Christmas!
