Thanksgiving in Roswell

Thanksgiving 2009 - Visitors from OK!

Holly enjoyed showing off her new costume for Halloween. G-ma Connie just loved her antenna!

Bubba just looked SEXY!

So did G-pa Don!

Dad must have something real good!

C-mon, just put it on! (Sorry guys - it's sideways)

Mmmmmmmmmm - you make a mean relish tray!

Ahhhh - don't we all just look cute?

Everybody loves the hammock - love your technique, Kayde!

Dude man, you should get that fixed!

Slade produced some awesome napkin holders - Thanks!

Somebody has to do it every year - insert hand - pull out the guts!

Scoot over Izzy!

Done for another year!

Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom

The tree of life - very cool - click and look close at the tree!
Yes, I swear it grew that way!

Loved the tree, as you can tell.

Grrrrrrrr!

I'm ready for my next triathlon!

Expedition Everest - we got Jason's Dad very green on this ride!

We even saw Yeti! I told Jason it was real!

Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom

It just finished pouring when we got to the Magic Kingdom. Love the jack-o-lanterns!
The Pumkin Band - had to get a picture of that!
(Click on pic to see better)

Wet but wonderful - look, the castle!

I loved all the fall decorations - especially the jack-o-mickey's!

We had fun while waiting for the paddle boat to arrive.

Maybe this can be the Christmas card photo for Jason's parents - I think so!

Yeah - the paddle boat - we got to see part of the Disney parade from the deck.

One of my favorite rides - it was awesome!

View of the castle from the Swiss Family Robinson tree house. Loved the Disney movie - definitely a childhood favorite.

Inside the tree house.

Argh! The pirate ride! Gotta have a bottle of rum next time to go with the sea chanties.

Epcot Center

Disney World - Yeah!

We went to Epcot first - the famous epcot gigantic golf ball!

The monorail was pretty cool too!

Who knew there was a waterfall under the golf ball?
The first ride we did was inside the giant golf ball. Jason's parents made a new friend!

This ride was cool - a spaceship simulator - zero gravity baby!

Epcot had a neat section with countries around the world. Apparently they grow grass on their roofs in Sweden!

Yes, not a great picture of me but check out China!

Nice towel! Trust Italy to have all the good statues.

Looks like a Christmas Card shot to me!

This dude was balancing on a stack of chairs with a giant wine bottle in France. He must have entirely too much free time on his hands.

Test Track was one of my favorites at Epcot - you got to be the dummies in the car during the perormance testing. Finally, something good from GM!

These were part of a series of awesome water fountains that did tricks - like shooting water across walkways in a series of jumps - watch out!

Crest Trail - September 2009

The Crest Trail

September 2009

Lead the way! We found this cool trail near Monjeau Tower - it was on the top of the mountains - coolest hike we have found in New Mexico!
Rest stop/bathroom break!
We left Holly's leash here on the rocks - good thing it was still their on the way back!

Cheese!

This was a very cool tree - how about a hug!

Heading back.

Monjeau Lookout Tower, NM

Monjeau Peak - New Mexico

September 2009

Yeah - picnic in the mountains!
We were swarmed by many little black bugs - clinging to clothes, hair, everything - they really liked Jason - he loved them too as you can tell!

This is the only stone lookout tower I have seen - it was built by the CCC. If I had to work in a tower - I would choose this one. Just like a mini - castle.
Helllloooooooo!
View from the top-o-the-tower.

Oh yeah, Holly got to go up since there were stairs instead of ladders. She played with the kids at the top.
