Albuquerque Trip, Part I

Okay, we're gonna do this quick. We were in New Mexico for about eight and a half days and we captured a lot of our time there on the camera, which means we have quite a few photos to post. We'd been planning this trip for a while, and it was definitely our summer vacation. Our previous trip back was Christmas, and the last day or two of that trip consisted of getting Malory packed up for her move to Dallas. We were really thankful and glad to be able to go back and not only have some down time there with family, but also see a lot of friends and visit some familiar places that are special to us.

SO...here we go!!

Here are the girls at the border of New Mexico and Texas. As you can see, it was windy! The sign has red and green chiles on it, representative of the classic phrase you hear at most New Mexican restaurants: "Red or green?"



Some of the New Mexico countryside on the outskirts of Albuquerque.



On Sunday, Steph's parents joined us for a trip to the zoo with Stephen, Jamie, and the boys. We had a really fun day together there. The Albuquerque Zoo is actually really impressive - the Dallas Zoo isn't anywhere near as cool!



Here's us with Jamie (Stephen's wife) and James, their youngest (of two, with one more on the way!).



Steph's parents: Bob and Diane.



Here is Malory with little James.





My other nephew, Will, just wasn't convinced we were going the right way, so he wanted to see the map. Bob and Will figured it out.



We took the little train for a ride.



James. He's a cute one. And he has ice-cream face.



And here's Steph and me on the train.


More to come...
