Ok I'm very late on this.... we went to New Mexico to visit Uncle Richard and Aunt Janine almost two weeks ago and I'm just now getting around to posting pictures. Sorry! We had a great time, Richard and Janine were wonderful hosts and made sure we saw all that the Albuquerque area has to offer!
Ella was great on the plane... we fed her during take-off and she had no issues with her ears and slept most of the time. Once we got to New Mexico it was non-stop action. We went to Taos and saw some amazing art and the pueblo up there. That was actually the only time Ella had a problem with pressure in her ears, heading up the mountain, but then Richard hit a pothole and shook everything loose. Here are some picture from the pueblo at Taos.
That's the Rio Grande River.
We also went to Acoma for a day, the oldest continuous dwelling place in America. Very cool! But also very cold and windy, since it's on top of a mesa. Ella was less than excited about the weather conditions up there.
The last day of our trip, Richard and Janine took us to an Albuquerque Isotopes game. They're a farm team for the Marlins, just like the Grasshoppers. Funny that they're actaully named after a team from an episode of The Simpsons! 
Ella got to meet Orbit, the mascot. 
We also shared the day with the kids from El Ranchito de los Ninos, a home for children that Richard and Janine's company sponsors. What a great group of kids!! Once a month the gang from Cliffdwellers (Richard and Janine's company) get together with them and celebrate the birthdays for that month. There were two celebrated that afternoon at the ball game, Avery turned 3 and earl turned 12. For more info on the home you can visit http://www.losninosnm.org/ The only complaint we have from the trip is that our hot air balloon ride was cancelled, but that was because of the wind... not a darn thing anyone could have done about it. And now, we have to go back just to do that! Thanks, Janine and Richard for showing us such a fabulous time!!
