Thanksgiving In Overgaard, AZ (part 3)

So we had big plans to go out to eat for Thanksgiving. That meant no big cooking for Mom and just a simple fun family Thanksgiving. Too bad the only place serving Thanksgiving dinner was the senior center within a 100 mile radius! Anyway we had to rethink our plan. I decided I would cook after all and ended up making a pork roast in my crockpot. I also picked up stuff to make a couple desserts and we had mashed potatoes, rolls, gravy. Deviled eggs, and olives.






I had met another family (the parents) at the fitness center (I went a few of the mornings) and we had hit it off. We decided to do Thanksgiving desserts together at the club house!








The kids had blast! Their little gir,l Elise, and Isaac hit it off great and were fast friends. Adam and Isaiah were peas in a pod and their oldest son Carl was Owen's best buddy!






As for the parents, we were fast friends too...we love the Baca Family and hope that we will meet again soon.

Meanwhile when we were not field tripping we hung out at the condo. We watched movies from the redbox that was at the circle K. We sat in front of the fireplace and played lots of card games because it was dang cold outside.






We made tin can robots...


And played by the onsite pond!












We met some locals...






We did lots of time in the hot tub!



We even got to see our pond freeze over and skip rocks across a now frozen pond!



We did some Black Friday shopping at the only getting place in town.



And played with our new found friends.



Isaac even got talked into going to a craft at one of the boutiques. Elise was going so he wanted to go too!









This was such a fun trip. We will definitely be visiting Overgaard again. It was a fun adventure!
