Christmas Break--Lander (part 1)

We left for Wyoming on the morning of Dec. 26th.  Rusty took Ethan to the bus stop in IF (& had Ben & Callum).  The rest of us met them in Ririe so we could go to Pamela's house.  Rusty wanted to have an afternoon at her house so we could finish watching "Survivor"--we had watched the whole season except the last 6 episodes.  We made it to Pamela's around 11:30 am only to discover that I didn't have the right keys to her house.  And the hidden key (at her house) didn't work (in either door).  So we ended up going to Maverick (to gas up & have a bathroom break) & heading straight to Lander.
We arrived in Lander around 4:30--just enough time to unload the vehicles & eat dinner.  
 We took some time & went to the church to goof around one afternoon.  Zane & Rusty shooting some hoops.
 The kids had fun running around (Callum in the back left, Alyssa--Laurie's granddaughter--& Ben).
 Kailey (Laurie's other granddaughter) & Emmalee are playing with the big pink ball.  It was great to have a place for the kids to run around & get some of their energy out!
 "half-court" shot by Rusty!  Zane played a game of Around the World with me--and barely beat me.  But I did make it to the last shots before he did.  I guess I still can shoot (a little).
 Ben putting one of his new puzzles together.
 Daddy helping Ben with the puzzle (Sponge Bob)
 Playing "White-Elephant" BINGO.  When you get a bingo, you open a white elephant gift.  Then the next person can either take your gift or keep the one they open.  
 Callum & Alyssa
 The white-elephant presents.
We all had fun playing.  And we all fit into the kitchen!!
