Thanksgiving fun







Thanksgiving day was a realy fun day. There was delicious food, but best of all lots of laughs! Angie, Melissa, Nicole, and I took lots of fun and random pictures and made some realy funny video's! It all made us laugh so hard! I loved being able to spend time and have so much fun with Melissa and Nicole, because I don't get to as much as I would like too; they are such awsome neices ( and of course I loved hanging out with Angie too )! Brian was even in one of the video's, it was awsome. After all that, it was pretty late ( around 10:00 pm ) and Brian decided that he was going to go to Wal mart for the Thanksgiving sale. Steve and I decided to go with him because we wanted to spend time with him. We left around 10:00 at night because we thought the sale started at 12:00 in the morning, but it turned out that it actually started at 5:00 in the morning! So we just stayed at Wal mart waiting for the sale to start. Later Angie and Chris showed up and waited with us. Wow I got tired being awake so long! Steve, Brian, and I were at Wal mart from about 10:00 at night to about 7:00 in the morning! It was crazy in Wal mart ; It was so busy that I had a lady ramming my heals with her cart! Everything has been so fun, I have realy enjoyed spending so much time with loved ones!

Here is the link to a video of Medeor's. The one at the very first looks kind of like the one Steve saw.

The meteor!


Stephen saw a realy cool thing recently, it happend on the 5th of this month ( last wednesday). We were at Steve's parents house and we heard Jeff and Cami's (thats my brother inlaw and his wife ) dog Annie barking outside. It was about 11:20 pm so Steve decided to go outside and see what Annie was barking at and tell her to stop. He looked in the direction of Annie's kennel to see what was going on , and heard deer running up the hill in the backyard so he knew that's what was upsetting Annie. As Steve was looking in that same direction he saw a flash of light shoot down from the sky at about an 80 degree angle. It started out white and then turned green, and just as it disapeared behind the hill in Steve's parents backyard, the sky lit up from the flash from when it hit ( kind of like when a camera flash goes off, but huge ). It was a Meteor, and It hit extremely close, It hit right in the very very nearby mountains! We wanted to go look for it but never got a chance. We think the odds of finding it are pretty low anyway, since its hard to tell exactly where it hit, and it may have not left a big mark where it landed. We will probably still go look for it , but don't realy count on finding it. Steve's dad has found a meteor though; he found it in a church parking lot! He had it looked at and tested and sure enough it is definetely a meteor. I think he found it quite a long time ago, I am not sure how long ago it was. Steve and I were noticing lots of meteor's flying through the sky that same night ( last wednesday) Steve saw that one fall, so it must have been an active night for meteor's!
