Thanksgiving Weekend 2009

This year, Thanksgiving was at my parents house. It was the year the Hone Family got together and celebrated as a family. We had a lot of fun! At about 10:30 everybody went out to a spot not far from my parents house and we did a bit of Skeet shooting. Everyone participated in the "Tournament". Cody Hone and Zach Hone were the winners, most of the time! There were a few people that this was their first time shooting at an actual moving target, so it was great practice and a lot of fun!! For Dinner we had all the usual Thanksgiving items. Thank you mom for preparing a great dinner :-). There were 16-18 people at my mom's house this year. It was great spending time with the Hone family.




On Friday, we took Cody to Bumblee Castle just outside of Cedar City. It is owned by Ree and Renn Zaphiropolous. My Uncle Chris works for them there. He trains and shows their Shire horses.

Here is Jordyn on one of the "Big Horses". She was a little scared, but then again it's a really long way to the ground!

Renn has a "Bentley House" on the property. And yes he does have a Bentley. Cody was in absolute love with this car. There were photos of Renn and Chris watching the process this car goes through to become a Bentley. The car took 4 mos to build, to his specifications.

Just a quick picture of Cody next to a Shire showing just how big they are!

Saturday, Cody and my dad took a Four Wheeler trip along the ridge looking over Snow Canyon. Cody said it was the hardest ride he's ever taken! They got rained on a bit, but saw some excellent scenery. Ashley and I did a bit of shopping while they rode. It was soo much fun just hanging out with Ashley, Jordyn, and Rusti.

Sunday we had Family pictures taken up in Pine Valley. It was windy so it was really really cold. Everyone was a good sport though and some great pictures were taken. We haven't had a family picture taken in about 13 years (not including weddings!) So it will be nice to have those up in frames soon!

It was great to spend so much time with The Family. It seems like we always have a good time, no matter what we do!!
