Pismo Thanksgiving

Pismo 2011 - put it in the books. A great time had by all. We managed to pack a ton of events in 5 days! The weather held up. It only got a little chilly on Thanksgiving evening.
Turkey day started with a great Turkey Trot and many participants. We figured to have got in at least 3 miles on the Bob Jones Trail (next time we go all the way to the ocean). Back to condos for football games and appetizers all afternoon. The turkeys (smoked and roasted) were delicious and those that had the lamb praised it also. The sides were incredible...corn bake, pumpkin gnocchi, stuffin muffins, fall salad, stuffed mushrooms, mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese and of course cranberries.
We got in some wine tasting in Avila the next day. Some continued on the wine trail while others went back for clam chowder at Splash Cafe. Then a double elimination Corn Toss Tournament that everyone joined in! The competition was intense. In the final round Hanna & Creed took on Jamie & Thomas. In the end Thomas and Jamie were victorious. A fun evening.
Saturday John, Karene, Ian and Hanna had to leave so Ian could catch his flight back to school. Wyatt took us to the petting zoo in Avila and out to see the seals on the pier. Tom purchased oysters for the evening. Maddy took her Papa & Dad by bike to the zoo too. Saturday was picture day at the beach. Stacy came from Fresno and took family pictures. The beach was beautiful and we were treated to a beautiful sunset. I can't wait to see those pictures....Thanks Jenn for setting it up. What a nice Christmas present.
Thanks Shawn for bbqing the biggest oysters ever! Those that could stomach them thought they were great.
The only draw back Kim was unable to come due to illness and the Chileans couldn't make it due to distance but we were thrilled to have Cadi with us. Over all a very successful event. A great time to share and be with one another....I am thankful for time together and a little reprieve from the spinning!!

So much fun it was exhausting

What a great weekend. What do you think, does Maddy look tired from the weekend?

Can't wait to see all of the photos as I was slacking on the photo taking.

Pea pod Halloween...
