Hey, maybe I am on a roll and can start posting something every day. We shall see, I guess. :)
We just got back this week from a trip to Albuquerque, NM to meet our adorable new Godson, Gordon, and his sweet brother Luke.
Aren't they adorable? Gordon is on the right, Luke on the left.
It isn't very often that we get to take trips like this that aren't strictly for or with extended family, so we REALLY made it count. There were 1,700 miles in the car, two national parks, two zoos, three swims in two swimming pools, four hotels, hiking, church and a double baptism and a sweet baptism party.
On the first day, we went to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake on our way to Green River, UT. It's one of my favorite zoos.
The next day, we went to Arches National Park. As always, it was super-awesome. Anne Marie hiked about 5 miles! I was very impressed.
The kids loved the sandbox atmosphere at Arches.
Then it was off to Albuquerque for the main event — Luke and Gordon's baptism.
What a cute, happy family!
Of course, we hit another zoo.
And the kids got their first of what will be many photos together.
Thomas also loved seeing his godmother, Denise (and of course godfather Greg- not pictured. :) ) again.
On the way home we made a totally unplanned stop at Chaco Canyon National Historical Park. It was well worth the 15 miles of dirt road it took to get there. Can you believe these buildings were made in 850 AD?
Anne Marie got awfully thirsty on the trip. Before you report me to the authorities, it should be noted that she actually only had a sip of her papa's drink.
I am reporting you to the authorities for sugar abuse and unneeded use of styrofoam.
