Sunday March 24 Bryce Tanner and Aunt Nena drove to Colorado to begin our vacation with some Spring Skiing. We arrived in Farmington New Mexico just in time for dinner at chili's. This turned not to be such a good idea for Nena as she was sick all night. Nevertheless we all got up early the next morning and went skiing anyway. Nena tried to take it easy but her boys were always pushing her to do the difficult runs. She survived it but was pretty exhausted by the end of the day. We had a blast skiing though. Bryce and Tanner did a lot of jumps and tricks on their boards and as always Aunt Nena was very impressed.
The second day Bryce's Friend Trevor and his family skied with us and we all had a great time! It was great to have Trevor their for the boys to board with. They all did really well and had a lot of fun together.
Monday after skiing we started back to Aztec where we were staying and our car broke down. We ended up having to have it towed into Durango and our friends Linn and Tweeti were nice enough to bring us a car to use until ours was repaired. Thankfully it was ready to go by the time we finished skiing the next and we promptly got in and drove all the way back to Arizona that night.
Wednesday we slept in after having gotten home at about 2 a.m. and had pancakes for breakfast. Bryce and Tanner, being the great kids they are, went out and completely cleaned out Nena'a car including a good vacuuming. They are such thoughtful boys!!! After all the morning activity we went up to Scottsdale and hiked Camelback Mountain. While we were there we saw several Gila Monsters. It was a really fun hike! That night we went to see a movie and had a fun Taco dinner. The boys loved the Taco's and did not even notice they were made with ground turkey instead of beef. :)
Thursday, we got up and had waffles and bacon for breakfast and Tanner broke a bacon eating record by consuming 10 pieces of bacon!!!! After breakfast we went to Peralta Trail and enjoyed another great hike and a lot of rock climbing. The trip down the mountain was eventful as Bryce saw a snake!!! Yikes!!! Tanner didn't seem to mind but Bryce and I were a little skittish after the sighting.
After some yummy omelette's for breakfast Friday morning we took a drive to Sedona and went up Oak Creek Canyon to Slide Rock. We climbed some rock and wading in the water a bit. Bryce ended up pushing Tanner in the water and so I pushed Bryce in to get even. Somehow Nena avoided being submerged in the freezing water.
The next morning we had to get up early and drive to Lordsburg to meet Meme so she and Papa could take the boys home. Nena was sad to see them go! She loves her time with her boys. These great guys are funny, adventurous, energetic, thoughtful, kind and helpful! Aunt Nena cannot wait until the next adventure together!
