Trip to Albuquerque

This weekend we took a last minute overnight trip to Albuquerque for Friday night and Saturday.

It was Cole's birthday so we went to Chuck E Cheese's for dinner and stayed at a hotel overnight.

The boys played lots of games, got lots of tickets and ate lots of greasy pizza. They were worn out for the night.

On Saturday we spent the whole day at the zoo/aquarium complex. Some of these pictures are not in order, but you get the idea. It is hard to see through the fence, but this monkey had a two week old baby on its belly.


Beautiful, majestic lion.

I caught this condor in flight. It was huge and amazing. Cuddly Koala asleep in the tree.
At the aquarium Cole watched the sting rays.
Jelly fish tank.

The kids loved this huge shark tank at the aquarium. There were tons of sharks and other fish.

There were also 2 divers cleaning on the inside of the tank.


I thought the polar bears were the best part. I have a video I hope I can get to upload so you can see how funny they were.

Here are my boys looking at the animals.


Landon on Kyle's shoulders looking at the sea lions as they were being fed.


Here are the trainers feeding the seals and sea lions. They were lovin it.

The giraffes would stick their necks out for you to feed them, but we didn't have any food.


Here is my crazy animal Kaleb eating his candy.

Kaleb and Landon climbing on the statue of a kimono dragon. They boys loved the reptile/snake exhibit, but I couldn't get pictures in there.

There were about 5 or so peacocks that roamed around the zoo. What pretty birds!

Here is the train we took in between the zoo and aquarium. I was actually impressed with both places and the boys had a blast.

We were all pretty tired by the time we got home last night (about 10 pm) but we definately enjoyed the trip. It was nice to get away because we hadn't been on a family trip since last summer.

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. It is always fun to go on family vacations, even if they are just overnighters. Your boys are so cute.
