Vacation Time -- SNOW

After several months of adjusting to Eastern New Mexico life, it was time to head West.  It just happened at the same time Grandma Donner was visiting.  Thus, we picked up Grandma and headed toward Albuquerque.  We settled into a great rental home near the Sandia Peak Mountains, complete with a hot tub and fire place!  We arrived late Thursday night, lit a fire, settled into the hot tub, and then found our beds.  Friday was a trip to the Sandia Park Tramway -- the world's longest.  At 10,378 feet up, there was quite a view!  We also enjoyed some good Mexican food at the base. 




At home, we enjoyed some good hot dogs and s'mores.


On Saturday, we played on the East side of the mountain -- SLEDDING!  The girls had never been sledding, but they caught on quickly.  All in all, the girls gave a thumbs up to snow.  They had fun sledding, making snow angels, and hiking through it.  We also enjoyed Courtney's chili, Mark's hot chocolate, and Grandma's coffee in bed.
