Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we were in charge of making the Turkeys. While we knew we were going to smoke a turkey the opportunity for us to throw a turkey into a pit came up and we jumped at the chance. Jared went over and helped rig up all of the turkeys with hooks. When the fire was ready they threw in around thirty turkeys. They then covered the pit with a metal plate and piled on a ton of dirt until no more smoke came out. I think the turkeys were in the pit for around 12 hours. Though the cooking method was pretty cool the pit turkey was not nearly up to par with Jared's smoked turkey. He is getting so good at smoking meats. We had a little problem while smoking the turkey though, it blew out our electricity. Jared had to run to Walmart and get a new plug. He also had to cut down the wires since they became brittle and broke from the blow out. It was really stressful since Jared was leaving as soon as we were done eating to go up to Flagstaff for his Elk hunt. He couldn't just leave us here without the electricity working.


We ate dinner at Papa's house. Mimi, Uncle Mike, Grandma and Grandpa Harris, Rich and Liz, and Bridgit were there. We went to the park and Blake showed no fear climbing up a really tall slide.





Friday night Grandma and Grandpa took the kids to Amazing Jake's. They played video games, lazer tag, goofy golf, rode on rides ect... Apparently Blake loved a little train ride and wouldn't get off. So he just went around and around. Bridgit and I went to go see Twilight and got some dinner afterwards. It was fun to have a girls night out. Apparently she already has a boyfriend up at BYU! I guess I was the last to know no one tells me anything. Well we had a great weekend. Jared is still away right now on his hunt and I am wishing he was home. I'm not used to being apart from him for so long. But, only two more days and he will be back. Well Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
