Summer vacation days - {Albuquerque family photography}

On the first day of September, I feel like reliving my summer vacations! We had a great time visiting family in Colorado.  It was sooooooo beautiful there - everything was green and lush.  (It was hard to come back to dry dusty Albuquerque!) 

I'm so lucky to have such gorgeous nieces and nephews.  This is my youngest niece, my youngest brother's daughter.  It's so fun to have a baby around!  A baby in a meadow... I wish I had a meadow here! 












Before we headed up the slopes we had some fun in town.  My brother had a summer job driving the Kona truck and we all enjoyed that.


We love to eat breakfast out on the porch - my daughter loved the butterflies warming themselves in the morning sun.


We tried so hard to catch a fish.  They jumped, splashed, and totally taunted us, but nobody even got a bite.




My kids created this delicious treat - it's a food sculpture of a campfire.  Mmmmmm.


We love the little pool.  It was pretty busy until our big group showed up - then, surprisingly, everyone else left!  They left us to do all the splashing, and lollipop-eating, ourselves.
