A week in New Mexico

Our week in New Mexico began with a flight into Santa Fe on AA. The boys did awesome on the plane ride. My mom met us at the airport and then took us to lunch at La Posada. We ate some delicious food in their beautiful courtyard. Then we headed to Los Alamos to Mom's house. Over the next few days we enjoyed weather in the 70's & 80's (while Fort Worth baked in the triple digits). We slept with the windows open and I enjoyed waking up to a beautiful sunrise on Monday morning. We went on several hikes in the mountains--Carter is an avid hiker now and Hayden kept up pretty well. Kristen and Steven came over after work each evening and shared supper with us and played with the boys. We met them both for lunch at Ashley Pond one day as well. Heath and I got to see a movie together with free babysitting by Grammy. :) We were also surprised by a visit from my uncle James on his way back from a blacksmithing convention in Colorado. We took him to dinner at Rancho de Chimayo, a tradition every time we come to visit. The boys spent many hours just playing in Grammy's backyard since the weather was so beautiful. We enjoyed smores one night on her backyard fire pit. Yum!! The plane ride back to Fort Worth was full of complications, but we made it back Friday night. Now for a relaxing weekend of "catching up" before starting the work week. 2 weeks till kindergarten starts!!
