Summer Fun

Our house has felt more like a bed and breakfast these last few weeks with all of our California visitors that have been coming and going. Our 1st guest, my brother Jon, arrived on July 20th. For the first couple of days we just hung out around the house, ate at various ABQ hotspots, and he even helped Tony with a few hauling jobs. Then we headed to the cabin for a few days of relaxation. Tony, Jon and Beau went fishing, we went hiking and spent a day driving into Durango, CO. All in all, it was a very fun trip and I am so happy that my brother spent some of his vacaton time coming to see me and the kids.

Hiking Around Big Meadows Lake


My Baby Brother Jon

Once Jon left on the 30th, our friend Kara flew in on the 31st. Kara dates one of Tony's best friends named Mike. Mike had rode his motorcycle from the Bay to Gunnison, CO and the plan was to meet him at the cabin the following day. Sunday morning we all headed back up to the cabin. I have never experienced so much rain in a 5 day period as I did when we went back up to CO. Every day we would wake up, get started on our activity and it would dump rain buckets on us. But we still managed to have a ton of fun. We went rafting down the Rio Grande and in Big Meadows lake, a day at the Pagosa Hot Springs (with massages!!) and we taught them how to play Phase 10, which they are now addicted to.


The "Lost" Girls


Mike & Tony

I think that the highlight of Cienna's trip was getting her first ride on a motorcycle. Mike is the ONLY person that I would ever allow to take her and I hope she got her fill because it will probably be her last ride!


Hells Angel and Hells "Little" Angel


Easy Rider

I think AJ's favorite part of the trip was all of the rides in the baby backpack. He really enjoys the view from riding on someone's back!


Hitch Hiking

We caravaned back to ABQ on the 5th, where Mike & Kara cooked us a delicious meal and we attempted to watch Hot Tub Time Machine. The next day, Kara flew back to the Bay, Mike took off on his bike and my in-laws came over to celebrate Tony's dad's birthday. They were in town to close a real estate transaction so it was nice that we got back in town in time to say hi and celebrate. Cienna recieved her first pedicure....

And AJ grew a bubble Go-Tee!
