To ring in the New Year, the family took a little trip to Iowa City. We made plans to see our old friends from college. It had been a few years since we had been together and more than 3 years since we've had all of our kids together. First we met at a local bowling alley. Kristi and her family only stayed for a short time since they had a Hawk basketball game to get too. Adina brought her three girls to bowl while her husband was working on New Years Eve.

| Ruth insisted on bringing her princess gown. She was getting moody with no nap so the putting the gown on to bowl seemed to do the trick. |

Then it was time to go the campus to walk around. What else to do on this cold last December day?? We walked through the campus mall and then to McBride Hall, which is one of the lecture halls.
Next, our next stop down memory lane was riding the Cambus. The kids had fun trying to stand while the bus was moving. We were a little loud on the bus and a lot of laughs too. It was a good thing the bus was pretty much to ourselves.

| Here we are out for dinner. Adina recommended a restaurant for us, so it was a good thing we made 5:00 reservations before the night got busy. We had our own section of the restaurant for most of our time there. It was perfect for the kids and large screen TV for the guys to watch some football. |
Kristi and Adina had plans already for New Years but Colette's and my
family snagged a hotel room for the night for our own New Years
celebration.
Some pool action for the kids...and myself.

| It is WAY past the kids' bedtime watching New Year's Rockin' Eve. |
