Well things have finally settled down here this week. We had been traveling the previous week and it is nice to just get settled in at home again. Tim and I left on Sunday June 29th to go to Santa Fe on a kid free vacation! Tim's parents were coming out to watch Matthew and Callie while Matt and Beth went to a wedding in California. They offered to take all five kids- yikes!- so we just couldn't say no. We had not been away without the kids in almost 4 years so this was very exciting! I had never been to Santa Fe and it was a great place. Very artsy with lots of shops and galleries. We stayed right downtown so we were able to walk everywhere. We ate lots of great great food as well. We took a few day trips- one to Bandelier National Park (lots of old Indian cliff dwellings that you can climb ladders to get to) and one to Taos another artsy city about 1 1/2 hours from Santa Fe.
We came home on Wednesday and left again on Thursday for my family reunion in Illinois. I have not been able to go for three years so it was fun to see my grandparents and aunts, uncles, cousins etc. We also got to spend time with my parents, Kevin, Becky, and Brady and Jason. The boys had not met their new cousin Brady yet so they were so excited and had lots of fun. The boys spent the days running around, climbing trees, and swimming at the hotel pool. It was a quick trip and we drove the 13 hours back home on Sunday! UGH.... all of our summer traveling crammed into one week.
