We've been in New Mexico this week, staying with Alex's parents. They moved to New Mexico a few months ago, since they retired at the end of the year. We hadn't been to their new house yet. It's really nice and great to see mountains - they live just east of Albuquerque. Here's a few pictures from the week.
We took the boys to the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque. Their favorites were the elephants and the seals & sea lions.
Nathan went to the shooting range with Alex and Papa John.
We went on a little "field trip" one day. Alex had fun seeing the geology in the area. (I had a hard time getting interested, but we went along for the ride.)
Alex's parents bought some goats, but the little pygmy goats are still scared to death. The boys have been trying to pet them, but only chasing them around.
Sometimes I wish we could keep the boys in a pen...
We saw the Salinas and Abo ruins, from the Spanish, which are about 350-400 years old.
Alex and I also went to the Albuquerque temple.
We went to a park in Estancia. Their mascot is a bear. The boys had fun playing on the merry-go-round. You don't see those very often anymore...

It looks like you all had a lot of fun!! It can be so fun (and tiring) visiting family! I also loved the pics from your sister's wedding. Your little family looked so cute!
You have some great shots of all your adventures. I know your boys will love the memories of all your cool vacations when they get older.
How fun! I loved your pictures. Isn't is shocking how different the landscape is. I forget that everywhere is not as green as it is here.
Loved seeing all your pics!!! What fun you've been having!! Pregnancy fatigue must not be meeting you! Or, you beat it really well!!! :)
Count me as also being very impressed you've been so busy during your early pg! Hopefully you're feeling better by now! Love all the pics! Who doesn't want to keep their kids in a pen occasionally? I know I sure do.
