Well, the time has come to say good-bye to Albuquerque and these darling little Dastrup boys! Good thing we have a marriage coming up in 3 months so I can see em all again! (AND to get Katie officially in the family!)
Cambrie I can tell you when you come to New Mexico your kids are going to LOVE it! I am amazed at the variety of really fun things there are to do here with children. Today we got shrunk at the "Botanical Gardens", and we walked through a pumpking that was as big as a building, and there were ants as big as we were, and mazes, and ducks and geese, and a miniture village with running miniture trains, and also trains that people can ride (kiddie trains). There was also a butterfly garden, and an aquarium....and farm animals....and it goes on and on. It was fun: Yesterday we were at the aquarium and they have a open tank where they have mostly sting rays but they also had some baby sharks that were born there. They were about 18 inches long , and they would swim to within 2 inches of where we were and it would have been very easy to touch them, but there was a sign there saying not to put your hand in the tank. Benjamin really wanted to touch it though, and CK kept telling him not to try...when along came another shark and she put her hand out , like she might try, just as he passed underneath. She was saying "It is tempting though.." Just then, the startled shark made a desparate surge ahead to get away from Christa, splashing water over CK and Benjamin and scaring them both to death! It was a great moment, and one that I wish I had on movie forever! Good times were had by all!
