New Neighbor In Our Backyard

Beautiful afternoon here. Came home to kids playing on climbing dome and then finding the turtle. 

On Our Way Home

Plane delayed a couple hours due to high wind overnight delaying the plane in this morning.  No problem.... kids playing Marathon Pokemon game.

Future Engineer

Reuben building his sail car. 4 iterations of improvement through experiments. 

Explore museum in city if Albuquerque

Kids having a good time at the science museum.  Good day for it too as a high wind warning is in effect across the state.

Fun day in Santa Fe

Nice time. Kids playing their Indian flutes for tips. Karen showing off her new bracelet. And now waiting for our return trip on train.

Sancho Barry In Santa Fe

On The Train To Santa Fe

Going to Santa Fe for lunch and wandering this afternoon.  Really windy today, expecting to see a lot of blowing tumbleweed.

Fun Game, But A Loss

High scoring game. Isotopes lost 10-9 and very exciting.  Kids even got a ball. A foul ball bounced into the row in front of us and the man there  turned around and gave it to Rochelle.

At The Ballgame

2nd row, across from first base at the Albuquerque Isotopes.  Dodgers triple A team. Close to major leagues in many ways including $6.75 beers.

Morning Workout

Watch "Desert obstacle course" on YouTube

At The Albuquerque BioPark

Flying Kites With Great NM Wind

A short hike

We did a short amount of hiking on a couple of trails at the top of Sandia Mountain. 

On top of the mountain

Took the tram up to 11000 ft.  Spectacular views

Made It To New Mexico

We arrived late last night, after midnight east coast time.  Kids were great travel companions, sleeping on the plane. 

Everyone but me is off for a walk. I'm lounging in the yard. Later today we take the tram up the mountain you can see in background. 

Circus Finale

Great Show.

Intermission

Kids haven't asked once for a toy, so they got their pick at intermission :-) two circus motorcycles and a circus horse.

Live at the circus

Cub Scouts At National Building Museum

It was a special cub scout day at the museum. All these areas set up to build things. Faith took Jacob's place today because he is sick.  But, Faith and Reuben really liked it. 

Movies From Another Cold Spring day

Little League game was cancelled today due to a wet field. Maybe for the best since Jacob has a fever and will be in again tomorrow. So what is there today...
DANCE!!


Later faith and Reuben went outside to play all bundled up. Faith is really becoming a good bike rider. A new bike is in her future as a 7 year old.

Afterwards, Faith and I ride our bikes to and from the park.

Mulching

Reuben and I hit the nearby park's mulch pile this afternoon. I made an earlier trip this morning.  Makes the work fun.  He's doing it all :-D

Opening Day

Little League opening ceremonies. Someone forgot to tell mother nature as it's not yet 40 degrees.
Our first game is later today, hopefully the rain and snow hold off. :-D
