We love it when family comes into town for a visit. We always fill our days with fun things and too much food. Why is it that people have to visit you for you to feel like you are on vacation in your own town?
My parents flew in for an enjoyable visit this past weekend. Asher always has so much fun with them...eating things he isn't usually allowed to, staying up past bedtime, missing naps (yikes!), laughing at Grandpa's goofy Donald Duck impersonation (actually, not half bad), and doling out more kisses to my mom in 2 days than I can squeeze out of him in a couple of weeks.
We hit the zoo, as we always try to do when family comes to town. I think we may have too much "zoo pride", as we are always promoting how great our zoo is here in Albuquerque (and yes, we have our annual pass). It was a perfect, warm spring day and we saw lots of great animals, and even scored a camel ride! Asher enjoys it a little more every time we go which makes it even better. Grandma and Grandpa made sure he had a basketball hoop of his own too, and he was dunking that ball in no time, although he's already missing his loudest fans cheering him on.
Ah, the Costco food court. No visit from my parents is ever complete without a trip to the local Costco. It's my Dad's favorite store, period.
Asher, trying to escape as always.
These camel pics crack me up. Me and Ash up front, and Corey hanging on the back end behind the hump. He looks like he's our servant boy, bringing up the rear.
Watch out Michael Jordan (is his tongue sticking out?)!
It was great to have them here with us for the weekend, fun but too short! Thanks for everything! Love you guys!
Goofy kid...wearing pajama pants on his head.

I wish we could have gone!! It looks like you guys had a lot of fun. I can't believe you got to ride the camel! That is awesome . . . I am jelouse.
Fun! Love that photo of you and Corey . . . and a camel . . . COOL!
Wow, looks like fun...I love the zoo! Cute kid too.
So much fun!! That picture of you and Corey is awesome! Looks like a great visit was had for your parents. Grandparents are the best!!
That is so fun that your parents came into town. I know what you mean about feeling like you are on vacation when people come into town. When I lived in Vegas I felt the same way. That is awesome that you guys got to ride a camel!
It doesnt surprise me that your dad took you guys to Costco, but it still made me laugh. I think when he retires he needs to be a greater at Costco...they could probably really use his expertise. Great picks! (Josh)
Cute pictures!!! I really with you guys lived closer (or that we lived closer to you)! Asher is just too cute! Oh, and Shel... I love the sunglasses! Very cute! :o)
Love you all!
