Merry Christmas! - 2008

Santa at Tilden Park

Visiting Santa at Tilden Park is a Reid Family tradition. We're lucky to live close to some favorite Aunts (Laura and Katie) that join us each year. Santa is at the carousel, and the decorations reflect Christmas around the world. After we chat with Santa, we ride the carousel. It was built in 1911, and brought to Tilden in 1948. After a couple whirls on the carousel, we have hot chocolate and popcorn (yes, popcorn) and and play for a while. Then it's off to bed.

Amazing Aunts - Katie and Laura. Note Josh's faux smile. He was just doing time so he could get to the hot chocolate.

Point Lobos and Monterey Bay in December

Point Lobos is just past Carmel, and is a beautiful place to hike, or just watch the ocean crash against the rocks together. Surf up on google for some amazing photos. Monterey Bay is also and incredible place and we love the aquarium. Come visit. We'll take you.


Maddie has a pink belt, and has developed her moves by constantly battling back the boys. Getting good.
Hey! Let us go!
HEY!! Let...us...GO!


Dad is happy to have the excuse of a child at the aquarium. It's seriously cool!
