The highlight of my break was not having to go to school and having time to chill out. I also had fun hanging with the boys and playing some basketball. I’m excited for Christmas break. It couldn’t come sooner!

I like this quote.
I spent the week in Mexico, soaking up the sun. We drove 18 hours to get there. It was an eye-opening, relaxing, dream vacation! I had a great break.

There was no real highlight to my break it was just stress. The dinner was just 5 of us but we never talked so it’s probably fine. It would have been better if I dog could come back home. It’s much better now to see my friends now.

Madeline

The highlight of my Thanksgiving break was being able to stay home & enjoy time with my family. Normally, we travel for Thanksgiving, but staying home gave my family & I time to relax & have fun together. Having all the left overs to ourselves is pretty nice too.

Trishelle

Hailey you have no friends

Nathan

12/2/2019 01:19:29 pm

Trishelle

12/2/2019 01:18:52 pm

Nathan

12/2/2019 01:19:05 pm

I know I love not having to do school

Jonah

We meet people that we should thank more often than you might realize. First responders, Veterans, old coaches, old neighbors, old teachers, old friends. Your parents, grandparents. How often do they drive to come support you in sports, or getting you birthday or Christmas cards and you stop to state your gratitude? Just some food for thought.

Jonah

My bad. I thought the quote was the prompt.
Okay, so for Thanksgiving we went to Mexico. I recommend not driving 19 hours in a car. But we did watch a lot of movies. We stopped at the Hoover Dam. There is no wall at the border. No, I did not drink the water. So yeah it was fun. Sun and sand back to snow and school. What a transition.

Boaz

I went to Utah to visit my aunt and uncle there. My grandma was also there which was really nice to be able to see her. The whole break was just filled with family which felt amazing especially because I wasn’t able to see them for a long time living in Colorado and California

Beth

Well, my family as interviewed on KSL and we watched the broadcast and that was cool. We also went to a dinosaur monument and looked at fossils and dig sites. And I ate a lot of pie so that was fun.

Carson

I liked having my family around. It’s always fun because we hang out and play card games. Thanksgiving is always fun.

Janessa

12/2/2019 01:20:41 pm

Thanksgiving was good. I like having the yams, and I usually only get them around this time of year, so that was fun to look forward to. I watched a few Christmas movies and went gift shopping, and now I’m broke. Woops.

Keely

I really enjoyed the extra long break for thanksgiving. I definitely ate way to much because the more the merrier. I had family come from Arizona and Rexburg. It was a blast. We were pulled around in sleds behind cars, a little dangerous on corners, but it was worth it.

Erik

12/2/2019 01:22:29 pm

My Thanksgiving wasn't very interesting I stayed home with my family. I had a good Thanksgiving feast with the Hiltons. I also like being away from school and being able to sleep in.

Tyler

For thanksgiving I stayed in stayed in salmon. One of the best things that happened over my thanksgiving break was my family going into the mountains to get a Christmas tree. We were almost to the door that we go every year to get our tree but we were stoped by a downed tree in the middle of the road we tried to pull it out of the road but broke our tow strap so we used like 10 tie down straps and snapped the tree in half we got it out of the way and went to get our tree. Another thing that happens was that I got my skis. I am super excited to go skiing and with that it would snow at lost trail so that I actually could. Overall I really liked my thanksgiving and spending time with my family and friends and I can’t wait for Christmas break so I can go skiing and have more time off from school.

JOnah

Lost Trail can't open soon enough.

I went to Washington for thanksgiving break. There was this suuuper Chubb cat that I hung out with because there were no older cousins to hang out with. His name was Diego. We pressed homemade apple cider from some fresh Washington apples. I also drove over 20 hours so that was nice.

Thank Goodness
