Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving in Boise with my dads family. Every year the guys have a big game of football Thanksgiving morning. This year it was my dad and his brothers, Ryan and his brother Jordan, my brothers, one of my cousins and the Parkinson boys. It was so fun watching them. Spencer played with a broken foot and Ryan played with broken ribs.

This is kinda blurry.. it is Ryan running the ball

This is one of the guys favorite games to play. Its called sting, they all run around the ping pong table and hit it back and forth to eachother. Whoever messes it up is out and they play until there is only one person left. All the guys who got out have to line up at the end of the ping pong table with their shirts up and the last guy left gets to hit them with the ball as hard as they can. They played it a few times while all the food was being cooked. They all left with some pretty big welts!

My grandparents set up this big astro jump/slide in the back yard for all of the little kids. Ryan and my dad decided it would be fun to jump inside and and soon as they did there was to much weight on one side and Ryan and my dad and all the little kids slid to one side and it started to collapse on them. Some of the little kids were screaming and crying and some were loving it. Ryan and my dad kept trying to throw the little kids up to get out but they would just keep sliding down into one big pile. It took a while to get in all straightened out. Some of the kids were not very happy!

Ryan and a bunch of the little kids sliding down into a pile.. this is before everyone started to freak out and panic because the couldnt get out!

My dad has such a big family that whenever we have family events everyone has to split up between the kitchen, family room and dining room to eat. This year my grandma wanted everyone to be in the same room so they cleaned out their garage really good, set up heaters and tables and everyone got eat Thanksgiving dinner together!
