Benjamin (Lindsay's) thought the dog kennel was a pretty cool place to hang.
We also had an impromptu limbo contest which Dave, Lindsay, and I tied on. I do think I may have been able to make it but after seeing Dave and Lindsay go down my confidence was shot.
On the 5th Dave and I got up and drove to Albuquerque (it's taken planning the trip to learn to spell that right), actually my sister, Theresa(who we were visiting), lives outside of the city in Rio Rancho. We were in love with the weather there. If it weren't for the fact that the desert scares me and the cost of living is too high for what they pay teachers, I could live there!
We overlapped with Brent (my brother) and his wife for an evening and enjoyed seeing them (they had to leave the next morning). Another highlight for us was seeing our newest neice Rebekah. We took lots of pictures of her but I'll just post 3.
While we visited with my sister we went down to Old Town Albuquerque (see that I spelled it right again without having to look it up!) and perused the shops. I love the geeky souvenier shop stuff and here's a picture of Theresa in the geeky shop (the only picture I got of her).
We also saw a 200+ year old church (they claimed 300 but it burned down and had to be rebuilt so that doesn't count).
We also had a fabulous hike near battleship rock and the following pictures were taken there.
Dave in front of the falls.
Me and Brendan (Theresa's) with him under the falls.
Dave's fabulous pic of Matthew (Theresa's).
Dave and I in front of the falls.
Another great pic by Dave of Brendan and Emily (Theresa's).
All in all we had a wonderful time there and although we spent more than we intended it was so inexpensive and fun! I can't wait to find another trip for us to take when we've recovered from the drive.
