Brian and Angela Hays invited Jacqueline and I to come stay with them out in Island in the Sky and celebrate Thanksgiving. We were all for it as I have known Brian and his family for many years. We are only a couple hours drive from them, but found it hard to make the trip with work commitments. Having the whole week off from school at least, not basketball though, we took the couple days we ha
d and made the drive. Brian had to work, but he was able to take the whole crew on a hike. It was only a short hike but was perfect because it was good for the pregnant wife and the rest of the whole crew too. There were eight of us total as Angela's sister made the trip along with Brian's sister Sarah, his bro Matt, and his mom. We took it nice and leisurely enjoying the desert and the slickrock as we went. Even thought the air temperature was a bit chilly it was still a great time to be in the desert as the snow was not going to stop our progress.
Brian had a funny moment on the hike when he pretended to be giving us a guided hike interpretational tour when another visitor came by. That visitor began following us, so he increased our party to nine. Brian was nice to him and you had to feel for someone who was alone for Thanksgiving. That is definitely a holiday where I appreciate my close family of Jacqueline and the baby growing in her tummy. We were only out for a couple of hours because we had to go back and make some turkey dinner. We all crammed into the shed at Brian's house and had an excellent dinner. We played games in the evening, including Brian's newly learned favorite of Ninja destruction. Anything that involved strength, quickness, and a small bit of pain are activities Brian will always
participate in. The next day we took a drive to the La Sal National Forest where we picked out a Christmas tree. Ours was rather small because we don't have room to put it in our house. The rest of the crew continued for a day of play in the sun and snow, while we had to return to prepare for a long basketball season.
