Last week we celebrated Jeff's birthday and spent the day at Bandelier National Monument. We had a little picnic before we started our hike.
BNM are ancient Pueblo Indian dwellings that you are able to climb up inside. Here the boys are climbing into the 'Talus Houses", Jeff's favorite of course. (One of the bones in your foot is a Talus bone just in case you are wondering why that would be Jeff's favorite!)
They were so amazing, and so tiny, once you got up inside. I won't ever complain again about all the little apartments we have lived in!!
The boys playing Peek-a-Boo!
Long House cliff dwellings were really cool. These were actually two story back in the day. Crazy to think that people actually lived this way, we are so spoiled these days!
Our new invention, the Double-Decker stroller! Great for tired little boys.
We have so many pictures I couldn't post them all. This is the look out from Alcove House. Jeff had to hike this one solo since there was four ladders and it was a very small cliff. The boys had so much fun playing in the dirt and rocks. I only wish we would have had more time to be there.
On the way home we stopped in Santa Fe for dinner. We happen to eat at a place that faced the railroad yard which the boys we very happy with!
No birthday is complete with out a slice of delicious Orange Fridge Cake! Happy Birthday Jeff!!
