New Mexico

We just got back from an amazing trip to New Mexico to visit my Dad and Valerie. They moved there permanently in June and this was our first visit. We had a fantastic time. The ranch (500 acres!) was beautiful and the weather was perfect.

My sister Amanda and her husband Chris met us at the airport and we drove the three hours to the ranch from the Albuquerque airport. Colin was fantastic on the plane which was a huge relief. He had been a bit of a "pistol" the last few weeks so we were pretty worried the travel would be a nightmare. But, he proved us wrong...he was practically perfect. He was actually close to perfect the entire trip. Not a huge surprise though as the ranch is a little boys' paradise! Tons of land, dirt, water, animals and more...what more could you want. He hung out on the 4-wheeler,played with the dogs and cats,got on a horse with his Grandpa,threw rocks in the stream and generally had an awesome time.

We can't wait until our next trip!!!
