Salmon Escape

Its become a tradition for the entire Salmon crew to go away for a night on Thanksgiving weekend and just spend time together for a night. June and Scott get us the hotel as an early Christmas gift and plan lots of family fun. We did it a few weeks early this year because Erika is due with baby Kai right around Thanksgiving, and they didn't want to miss the fun.

We had beautiful weather and enjoyed some time outdoors in the spa/pool. Only in California right? Meanwhile....

the boys played basketball. We've pretty much got a full basketball team worth of boys. It was so fun watching them play their own game. It wasn't easy when they were all toddlers, but they really are so lucky to have eachother- I love it!!!

For dinner we did HomeTown buffet which was a perfect choice for a huge group like we are- I think the count is up to 26 when we are all together! No waiting, just get whatever you want and how much you want :) The kids loved it!

After dinner the kids cuddled up to watch Toy Story 3! Grandma and Grandpa picked a good one- its the kids' new favorite movie.

The morning started with breakfast and a game of Bunco. Again, its so fun that the kids are getting old enough to enjoy playing games. The Salmon family loves games!
On the way out we stopped at a little nature preserve- the kids had fun looking at the stuffed animals and real snakes.

We walked around together and just enjoyed one another. I love my family and feel so blessed to have them.
