Changing Leaves in Santa Fe

While my mom and brother were here about 2 weeks ago, we went up to Santa Fe to see the changing colors of the aspens. It was beautiful. Started out bright and sunny, but then the fog and storm clouds rolled in. It even snowed a bit. Yes, it was COLD! We all stayed in the building sipping hot cocoa, while Tad rode the ski lift alone...






















Earlier that week, Mary, Patty and Carol and the kids came to visit. Our kids sure loved playing with Max, Maya and Cooper and it was amazing how great they all got along. I'm sure Paige and Maya would be best girlfriends if we lived closer!

These were the gas balloons at the balloon fiesta. Every year they take off and race until they run out of gas, usually about 5 days. This year it was too windy for them to take off and it was cancelled. Apparently Albuquerque has some of the best weather for hot air balloons. This seems strange to me because if it is too windy balloons can't take off and it is windy ALL the time here...
