Albuquerque, New Mexico , Petroglyph National Monument

We spent some time in the old part of town which is very touristy. Lots of the same types of gift stores with a few unique stores. 

Then we spent time at the Petroglyph National Monument walking the different trials. The monument is in the middle of a very busy area. It was very odd but I am thankful that they decided to finally protect this outdoor museum. 

The pueblo people were very artistic. These all are about 400-700 years old. 

My junior ranger! 

Lizard with lolly pop? 

 She loves riding on dada's shoulders

We have two more flat tires on the stroller and we even went to walmart today!!! Aahhh!! We spent so much time today in traffic and at traffic lights. We are not city people. 

Santa Rosa Lake State Park, New Mexico

We really enjoy visiting New Mexico. This park was quiet, spacious and dark at night. The only thing is that the wind usually blows really hard here. We went on a nice 2 mile hike around the lake shoreline after Ella played at the playground. It was nice to stretch our legs. 

I made meatloaf pizza last night and it tasted awesome. 

The night before we stayed at Camelot Campground which was across the street from Costco!! Now we are stocked up with yummy food. 

This cute girl will be 1 in three weeks!!! She is showing off her 7 teeth. Last night she crawled into the bathroom, grabbed her toothbrush and began brushing along side of me. She is so smart and such a quick learning. She doesn't miss anything. 

I love watching her play by herself. She now grabs and hugs her dolls. Looks them in the eyes and whispers to them. It's so cute to watch her mirror our behaviors. 

She can be one messy kid too! Watch out because she mimics everything. This is especially funny when we are around strangers. She likes to mimic noises people make. :) 

Tres Rios, Glen Rose TX.

We drove to Glen Rose to stay at the Tres Rios resort because Jason thought that he had won a free three night stay. Turns out that when we arrived the place was not much of a resort and in turn for our free nights we needed to attend a 90 minute tour. In the fine print of the email it does describe that the tour is mandatory and that two forms of id are required including a credit card. I guess this is a good reminder to all that you should read the fine print and find out what type of swept stakes you are enter before filling out that little white piece of paper. 

We stayed for two nights and we left before the tour began. I'm sure they have emailed Jason wondering why we left but thankfully we never gave them any personal information. It reminded me of those pyramid scams that used to happen all the time. 

We did enjoy the area. Glen rose is a nice small town known for dinosaur tracks. We had fabulous pies in town after we shopped the antique and clothing stores. The weather our second day was fabulous. I think it reached 80 degrees! We were able to sleep with the windows open at night. We don't have an air conditioner so I am thankful our airstream has plenty of windows. 

Today while on the road Ella has gotten sick twice and required a complete change both times. She is feeling better but the strong coughs are too much for her increasing appetite. Now I sit with Ella in the trailer while Jason runs into town for another wheel barring. Thankfully, a gentlemen caught our attention to tell us something was wrong with our trailer. It was still pulling fine and at the initial look around Jason did not see anything wrong. When we were able to pull over at a safer location we both jumped out and literally saw the smoking problem. The weather is great so we are just chilling until dad returns. 

She feels special with her new chair
