Family trip

Thanksgiving St. Louis

We had such a great trip to St. Louis visiting Betsy and Tim, along with cousins Erin and Evan. It was one of those visits that felt easy, relaxed, and full of quality time together. We even got to meet Erin’s new boyfriend, Nathan, which made the trip feel extra memorable.

One of the highlights was doing the Turkey Trot — a perfect way to kick off the holiday spirit. The rest of the visit was filled with everything that makes family time so special: a delicious turkey dinner, a cozy fire outside, and plenty of time exploring. We hiked around the train tracks, wandered near the pond, and enjoyed the peaceful scenery by the river. Simple moments, lots of laughter, and the kind of memories that always make these trips worth it.

Family Time

Back at the house with Erin, Evan and Nathan, plenty of hugs and time around the fire with the whole crew.

Train Tracks And The River

We hiked the train tracks, hopped across the rocks in the river and wandered through the woods.
