Today Ethan was sitting on the couch perusing a "coffee table book" titled, "Light From The Dust, A Photographic Exploration into the Ancient World of the Book of Mormon". He was reviewing page by page, and asked, "Dad, do you want to look at this Book of Mormon book with me? It shows where the Book of Mormon was". I sat down on the couch and looked at it with him. Pretty cool. In it there is reference to rivers which he determined would be teeming with gators. When we finished, he thought for a moment and declared, "Dad, if I would have been in The Book of Mormon with Nephi, I would have used a jet pack so the aligators wouldn't get me".
"Good idea", I said.

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!

Halloween
A day full of fun parades, parties and candy acquisition. We had our annual pre trick or treat party, then hit the streets. Our street is a favorite, so it's sort of like a block party with the occasional car. We had a blast, and not one of the children threw up.

Go "Inter"! Run, Kick, Score!
This was Ethan's first year playing soccer. He and his buddies played for "Inter". They won some and lost some. It's a blast to watch the mass of youngsters, with shin guards from their ankles to knees, kicking and chasing the ball mostly in the direction of their opponents goal. Ethan really enjoyed the season, and played hard.
