The Little Man Turns 5

Eric turned 5 last week. I went down on Thursday for his birthday celebration. He got a set of golf clubs, range balls, and a golf glove. Eric was so excited to open the clubs!He also got a new Indiana Jones toy, a water gun, and a ping-pong gun (Ryan LOVES this).

Ryan gets off work early on Fridays so we decided to take a road trip. We knew where we were going, but not exactly the end destination. 100 miles out of Las Vegas, New Mexico, we decided to call my mom to tell her we were 100 miles outside of Vegas. She was stunned, upset, and couldn't think straight. We laughed really hard before we told her that we were in New Mexico. She was ready to kill us. Dad said he would have wired the money to us. :) The drive was one that Ryan drove with his other job. He had sent me pictures so he wanted to show my the real thing. The drive was beautiful and the weather was pleasant.

Well, we ended up in Taos. We enjoyed walking around the plaza looking at different things, including the people. Our first stop was what we called a door graveyard. It was cool, but a little spooky. We ate dinner at Michael's then went back to Trinidad.

On Saturday afternoon, we took Eric to the park to hit some balls and play around. So, this new merry-go-around is not as safe as it looks. I went off it backwards about the same place where Eric is right now. It was hilarious! It went much faster than we thought it would. Eric held on for dear life, but wanted to keep going. We also went to see Wall-E. Much better than I thought it would be. We saw it in an old theater in Trinidad.

Ryan and Neil (bestman) had a golf tournament Saturday and Sunday. They ended up in 5th plae of the championship flight. I rode around with them both days. It was a lot of fun. The weather was pretty much perfect for the rounds.

FYI, Ryanna was visiting cousins in Texas so she wasn't around, but she was missed!
