Thanksgiving in Minnesota

This last week we had a great time in Minnesota visiting Alex's family for Thanksgiving. It was great to see everyone and get away for a vacation. Everyone was there, except his oldest sister Pam. Hailey had a blast playing with her cousins William and Rebecca. Here are some pictures from the trip:

Alex went pheasant hunting with his dad and brother Tim. Tim was the only one to actually shoot a pheasant.

With Hailey in her new coat, hat, and gloves she was able to endure the 30 degree weather outside.

Here is Hailey with her cousins William and Rebecca.

There is a new Hassell family tradition of bowling on Thanksgiving Day. We all did pretty well, except Diana killed us all with a record 164 score.

The day after Thanksgiving we went on the search for Alex's parents 16ft Christmas Tree.

Here is Alex in a tree hole with Hailey, William, and Rebecca

Alex had a good time driving the truck he hopes to inherit up to the tree farm.

Hailey even got a shot at driving the truck.
