Cheerleader

Sullivan was performing one afternoon in NM, for me and Mom. She was actually dancing, but it looks more like cheering to me. :) Such a funny girl.

Sandia Peak Tramway

One of the fun things we did while we were in NM was ride the Sandia Peak Tramway. It's one of the longest in the world, and it was fun to go again and see the kids' reactions. They loved it. The views are breathtaking, and they reminded me of why I love Albuquerque. It's truly a one-of-a-kind city.


On top of the world!




And we finished our sky-high time at Sandiago's - at the base of the tram - for lunch. Thank you, Mom, for treating us to such a fun day!

20-year-Reminiunion - with awfully cute kids!

A few of us from the graduating of class of 1991 got together to celebrate 25 years, on July 30th. We met at Mom and Dad's with kids in tow, to have Dion's Pizza and let the young 'uns ride the horse. Most everyone lives in ABQ, but Derek (from Houston) and I made our long treks back to the homeland for this event! Derek, we are awesome! (He is the one talking with Dad, in case you didn't know.) Anyways, there will supposedly be a formal class reunion in October, though I still have not received an invitation. So, maybe not. October doesn't work for me, nor my friends, anyways. That didn't stop us... and fun we had! ;)













Several of these adorable little people had never been on a horse before. Since horses consumed me as a child, I throughly enjoyed how happy these kiddos seemed to be to hang out with my old girl. Obviously, she didn't mind either.


The kids were so cute, waiting for their turns.





Aside from literally melting in the hot desert sun, I had a blast leading the kids around on Tater for "pony rides."









More cute shots: Please note how happy Tate was. This day might as well have been her birthday. She was in HEAVEN.

Reminiunion- NO kids

That evening we grown-ups (Really? Do we have to be?) met at Sandiago's for dinner. I had never been there before. It's up by the tram, and it's beautiful up there. We had some good New Mexican food and even better company. It was fun to catch up, and I honestly think this was more fun than our big class reunion would have been. I was with the people I really wanted to see.





We finished a fun evening together at... where else? Flying Star for dessert. We sat outside for a good long time, talking and laughing some more. It was such a blast to see you all... wish we could do it more often than every 25 years. At least I see Kendall and Derek more than that! (But not often enough.)
