We spent Thanksgiving at the Ramada Tropics in Des Moines with the Swanson relatives.
I need to get some of the great pics of the extended family my dad took! Again, my camera battery had died! Cold weather seems to greatly shorten our camera battery life!
It may have been cold outside, but it was steamy warm by the pool!
I had to keep wiping my lens to not get blurry shots like above.
We had SO much fun!
We stayed there again in December for a wedding with the Griers, but Carson came down with the flu that night so we didn't get to play as much!:(
