The Reynoldz

Guest Publisher - Anna is on vacation.

On 12/26 we went to Old Country Buffet after a day at the movies. Lots of good food and Orange Ice Cream.
Athea and Faith Faith and Dani

On 12/27 we took the girls by train to visit the Macy's Christmas exhibit. A Day in the Life of an Elf. We stopped to eat and check out some of the decorations and a cool water fountain before heading to Macys. Anna carried the kids coats. We called her Santa with her pack.

Athea, Faith, Haidyn in her new Puma jacket and Erin. Elves build

snowmen and have signing Christmas trees.


On Sunday 12/28, the Montana Reynolds arrived in Minnesnowta. Here are some pictures by the pool at the hotel. The kids swam and hung out in the hot tub. They had a good time while they were here. I don't have pictures of all the events because I had to work.

Mostly Gail's kids and nephews Harrison, BJ and Tim.




On Monday they visited the Mall of America. Went on lots of rides.

On Tuesday, they visited friends.

On Wednesday we went to Ikea - We got lost in the store and spent about 4 hours trying to get out. Jim spent a lot of time in the car with sleeping Finn.

Wedsnesday night, New Years Eve, we spent it at Chuckie Cheese Pizza. Jeb wanted to go to Chuckie Cheese for his birthday and they do not have one in Bozeman. Gail has 2 right by her house. OK, this place is crazy with games, tickets, little rides and tons of screaming kids. But what a treat on New Years Eve. The place was empty and we really did get to relax and enjoy.

On New Years Day, we had breakfast at Perkins before the Reynolds headed back to Montana. They are spending the night in Fargo and we wish them a safe journey through the snowy North Dakota and Montana highways.

Athea, Jeb and Finn. Jim and Jeb and I did manage to get Chris in one picture. She is hiding in the back.
Lots of Grandparent time.

Papa and Ahtea, who doesn't like to look at the camera. Finn and Mac and Cheese as his friend, yum!

Grandma Jo with Athea and Haidyn. Erin peaking in the back.
Ha - Then I made them stand outside in the cold to get a group shot. They were all thrilled. Or should I say chilled.


Later that day, we took Matt, Faith, Erin, Haidyn and Athea bowling. Here are some videos. My camera doesn't have sound. We played 2 games and it took 2 1/2 hours. Moon light bowling started, so the lanes were dark, with the pins lit up. Music was playing, it was fun.
