Vacation!
Summer vacation is over for one of the Reynoldz. That's me. Eric. Sitting in cold New Zealand. The girls still have a few days of sun with Ted and Donna before they come home.
We started off our glorious vacation with two days in Los Angeles, visiting with our good friends Kevin, Kate, Madison, and Sidney. We went to some theme park (anna: edit this part!) and stood in some lines and rode some rides. Oh, I possibly also gave poor Kevin viral meningitis.
From there we went onto Bozeman to see my folks Lloyd and Joanne, and Chris, Jim, JEB and FINN!! We spent the first week getting ready for our monster yard sale where we got rid of most of our earthly possessions. Anna went hopping over to Vancouver to see her OLD girl friends who she hasn't seen in awhile. So the first week wasn't super relaxing. However, we did get a chance to discover the great American past time. No, not TV, or bombing people. I'm talking about baseball!!
Here are some pics of the new sport the kids all learned in record setting 100+ degree heat!!! They had a blast! First base was a pillow. They would run to it and then lay down on it. It took a bit of practice but they eventually learned how to run the bases in some sort of correct order. Looks like that pitch to Haidyn is a bit high.
The yard sale was a success. Other than a stupid dog peeing on one of the beds we had already sold, it went pretty well. I have to thank my dad again for all the work he did moving it all up from California. It was a ton of stuff.
Then it was off to Choteau for the 4th of July!! Lots of relatives and friends were there. David Letterman (who has a cabin outside of Choteau) paid for Willy Nelson to come there and give a free concert for the towns people. We initially didn't think we had any chance of going (the 3000 free tickets had all been snatched up a couple months ago), but by our first few hours in Choteau, we had scored five tickets. Free.
So off we went. It was held at the Choteau Rodeo Grounds. It was a hot dusty show. Anna kept pointing out old fat drunk guys and saying "There's Dave! I think that's Dave! (Letterman)
He was in the crowd we later found out, but we never saw him.
Here is Chris and Anna. Living the Willy Nelson dream!!
(one of the Choteau police officers took this photo for me since he could get closer)
Well folks. I am jet lagged and am going to bed. Will add more tomorrow.
Cheers

And as you are back in NZ, your wife, Anna is off to an outlet mall at Albertville with her sister Gail. (I think she is stocking up on the pre-winter clothes sale.) Haidyn is going to a bible school with her cousins Faith and Erin and Brian and Harry. Athea is home with Gramma "D" and Grampa "Teddy Bear" Looking forward to the next addition of the blog.

hey Eric I cannot believe that one of the 'OLD' gf's hasn't commented on your blog...guess they are too young to take it personally, more likely each of them thinks you were speaking of the other ones!!
