Visiting family

On the road again, traveling to New Mexico to visit family. 11 looong hours.

Making chocolate covered strawberries.


 Yuck! Go brush your teeth!

 Roasting marshmallows.

Going to get ice cream for Grandpa.

 They had so much fun jumping on the trampoline at Grandpa's house.

Sariah didn't quite have the jumping down yet, so she just ran.

Riding the train at the zoo.

Beautiful peacocks.

Everyone who visits the zoo has to take a picture with this African chair.

Looks like this momma found some new cubs.

Stinky zebras.

We visited the Albuquerque zoo more than 3 years ago. A lot of babies had been born, and they were brand new. It was fun to see how much they had grown in 3 years.


Feeding the ducks and fish.

It was fun to spend some time with cousins.

This polar bear was pacing and moaning. I thought he was going to jump the fence to take a bite out of the crowd.

He didn't scare Sariah. She was exhausted.

Watch out for those scary predators, Zachary!

By far, the creepiest exhibit. The catwalk. The Cougars were pacing above the walkway, looking quite disgruntled.

Everett wanted to see the reptiles, but the building was closed for rennovations.

Eliza helping Auntie Alli with her scripture study.

Zachary always finds the girls to play with. Even the girl cousins.

The sand was warm, and fun to play in.

Sariah found a shovel and went to town.

This was the most boring slide. The kids had to scoot down it.

Abi looking out for Eliza at the bouncy house place.

Alli came too, and helped keep an eye on Sariah.

Grandpa told Zachary that when he was done drinking his water, he was supposed to put the cup on his head for a party hat. Zachary believed him, and carried it around and would put it on his head at various times.



One, two, three, four, slide! See, Zachary still has the cup in his hand!

Eliza did a lot of sleeping in her carseat.

Eating popcorn and watching the big kids bowl.

Bowling with the cousins.

A few of the three-year-old girls.

13 grandkids, and we're missing half of them!

A small balloon rally for St. Patrick's Day.

Playing on the playground while the balloons were lifting off.

It was a cold morning. It's a good thing we took warm jackets!

Sariah loved the stroller at Grandpa's house.

Her other favorite toy was Charlie.

Jumping with cousins. So glad we got to spend so much time with them!

Playing with the largest assortment of Lego's I've ever seen outside a LegoStore.

Saying good-bye to grandparents.
