We were really lucky that Rich's parents came to visit us for Thanksgiving.  We had a great holiday and the food was delicious (if I do say so myself!)

 Friday we went over to the hotel that Rich's parents were staying at and went swimming for a little bit.  Thankfully the pool was heated because it wasn't that warm outside!

We also went to the buffet at their hotel in the evening along with Rich's Great Aunt and Uncle who live in Vegas as well.  We were there for a while but the boys behaved themselves very nicely. We are so glad that we had a visit from Grandma and Grandpa!
