2/12-2/13: Albuquerque, NM

We made a quick trip down to New Mexico to see my Great-Aunt Jane.  We haven't been to see her since Dylon was just learning to crawl.  It had been too long between visits with such a special woman!

The boys did great in the car -- we didn't even have to use the DVD player on the way down!  With Ma's help they counted mile markers, timed how long it took to pass semi's, drew pictures, ate snacks, went up and down the hills, and were incredibly good little boys! 

When we got there, they were anxious to go see the fish (in the ponds at the condo unit).  Unfortuantely, it was too cold and they were down deep in the water.  The boys did get to see a bunch of ducks and enjoyed feeding them some bread crumbs. 



After dinner, 2 tired boys got to go swimming for awhile.  They both enjoyed jumping in over and over again.  It is fun to see how much more adventerous they have become in the past 6 months.  Braden jumped in without his swim belt and didn't mind ggoing completely underwater and kicking his way back to the surface.  Dylon loved having the water splash into his face.  He was shivering after about 10 minutes inspite of the warm water, but didn't seem to mind -- he was having too much fun.

Saturday, we went to lunch at Applebee's. On the way there, Braden was asked what he wanted for lunch.  Without hesitation ... "Steak".  Hmm, is he his daddy's boy or what?!  

It was a fast visit, with lots of driving ... but we had so much fun.  Some people are just worth the time and effort.  Aunt Jane is one of those people! 

I'm looking forward to another visit soon when we can take our new little bundle for an introduction!
