Albuquerque Trip

While my parents were in town they thought it would be fun to take the boys on a roadtrip to Albuquerque (about 5 hours away). I thought it sounded like a great idea until they said I had to go too! It actually turned out to be a really good trip except that I was sick the whole time. The boys did great in the car and slept pretty well at the hotel so all in all much fun was had by all. The Albuquerque Zoo was a lot of fun for the boys. It was a beautiful day and all the animals were out. This zoo has tons of animals to see AND a train to ride. What could be better than that?? ( BTW I love pictures of the boys looking at stuff together.)

Max had a great time at the zoo. He said his favorite animal was the polar bear, but he does a pretty good impression of a flamingo too. Next time you see him, ask him to show you!!
Albuquerque also has a big botanical garden to wander through. Another beautiful day for that. I think Zach could have run through the park for hours (maybe he did) but he did stop for a few seconds to pose for a picture!


Max reminded everyone how important it is to stop and smell the flowers too!


We also went to the aquarium while we were there. It was a little smaller than what I'm use to but the boys love fish and Max has decided that sharks are about the greatest things ever!!

While we had a wonderful trip to Albuquerque the best part was when we got home. Max went back to school and told his teacher that he went to Guatemala and rode a giant ship in the sea and had amazing adventures. He also told her that he bought brightly colored blankets for everyone and he's "bring them tomorrow"! It is hard to compete with his imagination!
