Bandelier National Monument

One of our first tourist stops in New Mexico was Bandelier National Monument. It was a warm day, and there was a bit of walking, but everybody did great! There are caves that you can access from ladders and we got to climb on rocks and see all sorts of fun things.

Walking along the path, there were lots of other people, but not a lot of kids. Most of the other people gave us the look like  "You're very brave for bringing ALL those kids here!" Really, ALL those kids? It's 3 people. Not even a whole handful. Anyway, they were still nice and many offered to take pictures of us. Maybe because they didn't think we should do anything like this again?

Dexter found a nice bit of shade and decided to take a rest.

This is one of the famous cave drawings that Addie and Jason were so kind enough to pose with.

Pre-K watch out

Andres was very excited to start preschool at the same school that Addie is going to this year. He gets to go Monday - Thursdays in the morning. I'm a little bit nervous, but also excited to see how he learns and grows in this new environment. This year should be an adventure for sure!

First Grade!

It's a big day around here! Adelaide is super excited to be starting school again (and mom is excited for her too!)
