Whew! Where to start??!! We are so far behind in blogging because we have had an amazingly fun few weeks. I think the title of our last post was something about boredom but no more.
Let's see- we'll start with three weeks ago. Dad had been having a hankering for his Disney fix and didn't want to wait until August when we go again. So. He and I packed up and headed out for a daddy/daughter bonding weekend and drove to Disney. Mom stayed home to hold down the fort and we kind of missed her..... Dad and I tore the place up. We even tried the pineapple whips, which I loved and dad thought were just eh. They weren't chocolate so they didn't really count.
Dad and I got home Sunday afternoon. Just enough time for mom to get some laundry done and then she and I packed up and headed back to Albuquerque for a long weekend with Nana D and Mr. Walker. This time, dad stayed home and held down the fort. Mom and I tore up northern New Mexico. We went horseback riding on Wednesday. All of us. We last about 2 1/2 hours when the adults called it quits. I could have gone on forever but the grown ups were driving so I didn't have a choice.
On Thursday, we went hiking with llamas and it was sooooo cool! My llama was Picchu and he was the best llama ever. We hiked about 4 miles total but got to cross the creek a few times, had a great lunch and learned a lot from our guide. I want to take my horse and my llama home.
On Friday, we went on a big, long train ride. It was a really long day with a 5 hour round trip drive and a 7 hour train ride. But the scenery was amazing, we got to go through two tunnels ( just like Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disney) and over several really high tressel bridges. We spent most of the day in the open car enjoying the great outdoors.
We even got Nana to eat a donut and she claims she hasn't eaten one in 10 years.
We headed back to Albuquerque on Saturday and spent Sunday morning at Uncle Adam and Aunt Erin's house celebrating Father's day. We finally got home to Tucson about 10 Sunday night. Just enough time to do some laundry and test out our new inflatable kayak before we headed out for a wonderful weekend camping trip in the White Mountains. We went our camping friends, the Goods. The weather was perfect- on Saturday, we ended up spending about 5 hours in the RV because it wouldn't stop thundering, lightening and raining. But it ended up being a lot of fun. We played games, watched movies and talked. We finally ventured out that night for a little kayaking on the lake near our campsite.
