Sandman had a four day weekend over the Labor Day holiday, so we headed over to Albuquerque!  Until recently, one of the boys used this pronunciation.  Super cute, but as with most cute-kiddo-speak, it's been replaced with the correct name now.

We really enjoy the mountains there.  And that it's not flat in every direction.  And that you can see mountains. 

 Buddy and Sandman know just how to freak me out....take pictures near the edge.  Or 15 feet from the edge....we were so not going to fall.  I'm going to be a mess when we finally take that trip to the Grand Canyon.

 

We've been to the Sandia Mountains a few times now, but this was the first time there wasn't any snow!  We took advantage of being able to hike some trails without needing skis.

 

 

He claims he wasn't nervous.....

 Love my boys!

 

We visited the zoo twice and toured the aquarium again.  The ABQ zoo is one of our favorites...lots of wonderful exhibits and a great train ride.  The boys also experienced their first baseball game!  We watched the Albuquerque Isotopes and enjoyed fireworks after the game.  If anything, our little trip was a great escape after a crazy summer.  We wouldn't mind pcs'ing to ABQ someday!
