on our way, my mom wanted to detour and see palo duro canyon in Amarillo. well, after a 30 min drive (out of the way) to the canyon, we discovered we were very low on gas..too low to drive through the canyon in fact. so instead we just let max run around for a few minutes and then got back in the car...it turned out to be about a 2 1/2 hour detour with getting gas and lunch, but what a memory!
our 1st day in albuquerque, we went to the zoo. this was max's 1st time to go to the zoo and he had fun, especially when we let him walk around.
jared (my sis amy's boyfriend) and joey showing us how manly flamingos can be!
a new cute thing that max does...points with one finger at any and everything and 'talks' to us about what he sees :)
on the train that went around the zoo...
...and this was our final animal to visit...guess he's as tired as we are after a day at the zoo!
we bought combo tickets that got us into the aquarium and botanical gardens too....
here's what joey enjoyed at the aquarium...
...and here's what max enjoyed!
i liked this pic bc it looks like amy and jared are walking underwater
the botanical gardens was really big so we only saw a small portion..but they had this children's area that was really cool
they also had a huge train display straight from "i love toy trains"...complete with a thomas (which i assume max will appreciate at some point in his little boy life)
the next day, joey and i, and amy and jared hit the slopes
we went to the small resort of sandia peak but it was perfect for one day of skiing
joey celebrating his success in skiing
after a day of skiing, the heated pool and hot tub at my mimi's apartment felt just right...max loves to swim and even when i took him under he was still happy...can't wait to see this little fish in the pool this summer.
"mom, why didn't you bring me a swim diaper? this is really uncomfortable"
our final day in nm, we drove to santa fe. but as soon as we had finished lunch and were ready to walk around, a snow storm hit (it was actually snowing behind us in this picture)
bc of the bad weather, we had to take the long way home on saturday and were in the car for about 14 hours...but max was great and didn't fuss much at all so it really wasn't that bad.
