As Thanksgiving drew near this year and we were getting excited about the family (Mark & Joyce, Daryl, Sheryl and Grandpa Bob) gathering at our house, we were also missing my Aunt and Uncle in Utah. Bonnie and I realized we hadn't seem them since July- just too long so on Friday afternoon, we decided to remedy the situation.
Friday evening Bonnie prepared a lasagna feast and I called my dad to prepare some of my Grandma Mary's famous Apple Slices, which he and my brother Mark had raised from an old recipe.
On Saturday at 1:00pm we headed to the airport, jumped in the plane and headed to Scottsdale to pick up my Dad.
As long as we were there we had dinner with Bonnie's brother Barry and our sister-in-law Diane. Our good friends Harry and Pat also joined us.
Sunday morning we packed up the Lasagna and Apple Slices, left Scottsdale, flew over the Grand Canyon and landed in St. George.

Once at Auntie Lynn and Uncle Tony's place, the feast began.
 | Veggies and fruit for an appetizer while the lasagna was heated, Caeser salad prepared and garlic toast was cooked to perfection. Yummmm. Some fudge, eclairs and of course the Apple slices were brought out for desert. |  |
Just enough time for some catching up on the patio, a quick nap and then back to the airport to fly home into the sunset. We passed over the lights of Vegas, headed across the Sierra's and by 7pm Sunday night we were back on the ground in San Jose.

Can't believe it was only 30 hours since we had left, but what a great way to spend the weekend before Thanksgiving, visiting my favorite Aunt and Uncle in Utah. Bonnie and I vowed to never let 5 months pass again without seeing them.
