Our trip to New Mexico was a blast! It was so good to see Mitchell and spend some time with the family. Logan did great on the plane. He slept the whole way there (mainly because we didn't leave until 9:30 pm and that's past his bed time). We had to fight him a little on the way home, but not much maybe 3 mins and then he was sleeping again. He was such a trooper through the entire trip. It was another vacation jam-packed full of activities, which is fun, but also hard to find time to squeeze in naps. He would always fall asleep in the car, so instead of waking him up to go inside to eat, we just unbuckled the entire car seat and brought that inside. He slept through a couple meals that way.
Let's see...what did we do on the trip...the first day we went to the zoo. It was great. A ton of animals to see. We even got to see the lion perform for us...check it out...
Some other random shots...Me and Hitchell
Smile!
Family Picture Time!
Group shot!
The next day we wanted to go to a water park, except we couldn't find one that was open at this time of year. The weather was great, about 70 - 78 every day, but I guess not warm enough for New Mexico water parks. The other disappointing thing was our hotel pool was drained for some reason, so we couldn't even swim there. Boo! Very disappointing! So instead of a water park we found Hinkle's Family Fun Center. It has mini golf, laser tag, bumper cars, go-carts, arcade, etc. It was a ton of fun!
Logan's favorite thing to do at Hinkles....play in the car....
And of course he had to ride the Merry-go-round again...
Get your putters ready! It's mini golf time!
Bumper cars
Waitin' for Laser tag to start!
That night we went to the casino for dinner and the guys gambled a little. No big winners, but no big losers either....Mitchell was playing Blackjack and thought it would be a good idea to split 10's...only you Hitchell! :-) Mom and Logan got kicked out of the casino....I couldn't control the kid he was a gambling fool...no but seriously after we eat the security guard almost had an aneurysm when he saw us in the casino. We were just going to hang out while the guys gambled a little. It's not like I was going to gamble myself or anything, I hate gambling...but I guess no children on the gaming floor...so my mom, sister and I went next door and went bowling. It was still fun!
Then Tuesday morning before my brother Steven and sister Christie had to leave for home we went golfing! It was a blast!! I'm so ready for golf season, which starts this Thursday...please don't let it rain Thursday...
Jamie and Mitchell
Ok, I know Jamie's not going to be pumped that I'm posting this...but it's so funny! The video is turned sideways and I'm not sure how to fix that, but you'll get the drift... :-) Love you Jamie!
Logan had a BLAST golfing. He loved being able to drive the golf carts! He would run from one cart to the other and just play and play. He never got bored or crabby or tired the entire time. My mom didn't golf so she stayed with him at the carts.
Brian: "Should we just give up and buy him a race car now? The only thing he loves to do is drive!"
Tee: "Oh dear Lord...help me..."
Steven and Christie
Then after Steven and Christie had to leave we headed back to the bowling alley. It was fun and my Dad, Mitchell and BMeyer got drunk! Pretty funny to watch!!
Logan wanted to help Mom bowl....he did better then I would by myself.
Finally some random family shots...
Jamie picking her nose....She wasn't really, but it looks like it....sorry again Jamie...
This was from Old Albuquerque. There was tons of shops and things to look at. Very cool.
Mom, Dad and Mitchell.
Mitchell called on Saturday. He made it into Kuwait safely. Not sure when he actually leaves for Iraq, but I'm sure he'll let us know. I believe he had a chance to update his blog, so check that out for more info. It was great to see you little brother! Please be safe over there and we'll see you when you get back! Love you!
Other happenings at the ranch...we got our bees on Saturday. We got about 2000 bees to help pollinate the apple trees and garden. Hopefully they survive. Logan finally got one of his molars in on Saturday as well. He's had three very swollen teeth that we've been watching...and of course the one that comes in is the one we were not watching. We discovered it on Sunday, but I think it actually came in on Saturday. I just hope his other three come in soon....poor kids been struggling with these teeth for about two weeks now...
Anyways, sorry for the long post...I'll try to do a better job of updating the blog now that were home and don't have any vacation plans in the near future.
Happy Monday!
