First Birthday in Wyoming

Thanks to two Allegiant Air non-stop plane tickets from Phoenix to Billings, Montana which cost us just $250 round-trip, we spent 12 fun-filled days in Dayton, Wyoming with my family. We did so many fun things like the town farmer's market, celebrating Grace's 1st birthday, celebrating my Aunt and Uncle's 20th wedding anniversary, playing at the park, eating lots of my parents' yummy dinners, etc. I spent every morning taking long walks around town with Grace. The weather was heavenly, so I took full advantage. Grace had fun playing with the dogs and meeting all my old friends from home. 

During one of our many long walks around town, we took a detour at the town park. Grace got to do all of her favorite things: play with dogs, play on the swings, and play with Mom and Dad. Grace had the best birthday ever! She started off her day eating oatmeal and bananas and watching cartoons with Grandpa Reichert.
That afternoon, Dad and Neil went fishing. When the family came over for Grace's party, a few people  mentioned that it smelled a little fishy in the house. The smell was not coming from Dad or Neil... 
Grace had the time of her life opening gifts of clothes, toys, and shoes. She gave us all the glare when we sang "Happy Birthday" to her--probably because we sounded THAT bad. (The Reichert's aren't very musically inclined. They pride themselves on flaunting that lack of talent during birthday songs.)  
Even though the song was bad, her ice cream cup cake was delicious!
Happy One-year birthday, Gracie Girl!
 Another highlight of Neil's time in Wyoming was his bird hunting success. He finally got the hang of his shot and came home with 11 doves on his last day of hunting.  The BYU vs. Oklahoma game happened while we were in Wyoming too. We munched on Indian Tacos and cheered for the Cougars all night long. What a great time!

Hey Megan! Grace is getting so big and is stinking cute! I'm glad you had fun at home. Don't you live Allegiant Air? My niece was baptized in Pinetop two weeks ago. My parents were able to fly from Missoula to Mesa for a total of $250...the same price I paid for my single ticket from SLC to Phoenix! Crazy! It looks like you guys are having fun! Say hi to Neil for me!
