Santa Fe Part 1

I am way behind.  The month of December pretty much was a total blur and I was holding on for dear life.

I will eventually get Christmas on here which was amazing but for now I will post some pictures from our trip to Santa Fe that we went on right after Christmas.

We left Monday (26th) and headed to Amarillo where we stayed the night and enjoyed dinner at Chuck E. Cheese- Happy Birthday Jon! The kids loved it. 

Here the kids are dancing with Chuck E. himself and the workers threw out tokens or tickets- I can not remember now but the fun!!

 Lily was there helping me take pictures. Little miss grabby hands.

 Joey hit the Jackpot on one of the ticket games- 151 tickets!

 Lily enjoying a ride too!

 Tuesday morning as we left Amarillo we saw the Cadillacs planted in the ground.

 There were some leftover cans of paint from previous visitors and so we added our names to the "appropriate graffiti" (that is what a website called it and it was).

 The boys both got paint on them- oh well they loved it. 

 We made it to Santa Fe on Tuesday afternoon and ate at a yummy restaurant and then saw the trains. 

 We played at a park for a bit and this odd bench was there.

 Arabella in the spinner seat- see video.

 I have more pictures to post from other things we did but they are on another card so you can now look forward to a Santa Fe part 2.

Lily plain tuckered out from all of the fun. 

Santa Fe was a fun place to go.  Peter called it a yuppy, tree hugging, organic hippy place.  Yes- it is true that as we were looking at different places to eat there were a whole lot of them that were organic or locally supplied.  The restaurant we had lunch at on Tuesday we sat next to 4 people that were discussing ways they could revitalize the "occupy" movement in Santa Fe.  At the park, there were several tents set up with some signs posted- they were protesting building of some sort.  

Spinning video from the park.

This is a video of how Lily spent a good part of her time in the car.  She really got in to the lion toy.  I love seeing babies discover new skills.

There was snow, family, a swimming pool, a movie theater and good food so all in all it was a great time!
