Family Home Evening


We thought it would be fun to try out our new swimming pool for FHE activity. It was in the 80's all day and so I thought the water would be warm enough. It was pretty chilly but the kids didn't mind. Greg and I will give it a few more weeks until we get in the water.

Getting Wet

Zoo pictures



Albuquerque Zoo






On Saturday we went to the zoo. The kids had a great time. Their favorite animals were the polar bears, seals, prairie dogs, monkeys and the sharks. We packed a lunch and ate on the grass in perfect weather. We also went to the aquarium but we forgot to bring the camera with us. There are so many adventures to be had here in Albuquerque. Our weekends are booked with fun family activities for weeks to come. We are going to enjoy every minute we are here.

These are pictures of us starting our long journey. Great Grandma Erickson gave each of the kids some money to buy "new toys" for the trip. Isaac got a foam sword and Evie picked a necklace. We stopped and had dinner in Price and the kids were still in a good mood. That night we made it to Moab and stayed in a hotel. The kids were so tired that this is how we found them. I don't know what Isaac was doing but thank goodness Evie's diaper was clean.

Mesa Verde, CO


On our way to Albuquerque we stopped off at Mesa Verde in Colorado. I am so glad that we took the tour because it was well worth our time.

Here we are New Mexico




The kids did such a great job in the car. Evie had one minor break down and then resigned herself to the fact that she was NEVER getting out of her car seat. They played games, colored in books, and sang songs. Overall it was a really delightful trip. And here are Greg and the kids as we cross into our new state - "The Land of Enchantment".
