As we enjoy the holiday season here in NH, I am grateful for many things! For the second time in two years, our entire family was able to gather together in Bend, Oregon for Thanksgiving! It's a rare treat in our family when this happens, as we are spread all over the country, and all have very different lifestyles (translated: we pretty much all work different shifts!)
We gather in Bend for several reasons. Bobby, our son, is a brewer at 10 Barrel Brewing Company located there! He's been there for a couple of years now, and we all love the area, the beautiful trails for walking/running/biking, and the proximity to some great skiing, both Xcountry and down hill! The girls, being on the west coast, have a fairly easy time of getting there, and we do the leg work and fly cross country! We are also able to spend time with our great friends, Tina, Peter and Marley Leavitt! When we arrived, Bobby's new brew- Rye'm or Treason was just being bottled! It was fun to see the first bottle come through the bottling machine! We had a great tour of the brewery with our favorite brewer, and got to sample some of his new brew!
ALI AND BOBBY
We also had the opportunity to meet Bobby's new girlfriend, Ali! It was really fun getting to meet both her and her family! We had a really fun time all going out to the Tumalo Feed Company for a great dinner event!
We also had some basic fun and frolicking while hanging out...the Jackson household, when in full swing, is simply never a dull place!
More shenanigans at the Brewery!
Scout and Marley having a boxing match down by the Deschutes River!
An after Thanksgiving Dinner walk down by the river....
And of course, no Jackson event would be complete without: I can do this better than you! Watch this!
It was a great holiday! And now as Christmas is upon us, I would like to simply say to all reading, have a fun, family filled holiday! Enjoy your time together. I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!
