Saturday in Bozo

It started snowing late Thursday night and it didn't stop until Sunday morning, so we were a little concerned about Richard being in charge of the Emergency Prep Fair in Bozeman (which is only 20 miles away, but through a mountain pass). We drove over Friday night and stayed at the Comfort Inn there with the kids. We swam and ordered pizza and watched ET while Rich set up Friday night, and then we dropped him off at the Stake Center early Saturday morning and had tons of fun in Bozo (well, as much fun as we coudl have as we were coming down with colds).

First we picked out Halloween costumes--this is the first year I copped out and bought them instead of getting creative or buying them the year before, but it's been a busy summer and fall, y'all! So Ad chose a bride costume, Heidi chose a Super Girl costume (and it is SO HER!), and James chose a knight costume (his costume didn't come with a sword, which makes me so sad that we decided against buying the little wooden one at the souvenir shop at Edinburgh Castle!).

Next, we went to Target and got some new snow gear for Heidi and James. Of course Heidi wandered off like she ALWAYS does at Target, but we found her snarfing Oreos after a brief CODE YELLOW (Thanks, Target employees). I wish Target had a clink for naughty kids. Anyway, we used James' birthday gift card from Nana to take some of the sting out of buying two new coats and a pair of snowpants (and two of those adorable $5 Halloween shirts--so cute!).

After Target, we spent an hour at The Children's Museum of Bozeman, which recently moved into a Bavarian-looking building SE of where it used to be. The kids had tons of fun there...

hilarious!
I couldn't tear James away from the Isle of Sodor train set!
(next time you see him, make him say "Sir Top'em Hat"--you won't be disappointed!)
Heidi liked coloring and spinning the rice wheels
Addie had fun on the i-macs playing Kaleido-draw.

After the museum, we met Daddy at the Stake Center and had lunch there. From 2-3pm, we helped him clean up the fair, and then we left for home (we were worried the pass would be closed, but we made it!)
