Tramps, Coffee and Liquor




Well there's an attention getter! Perhaps I should explain the title of our blog today...













Aiden's new word "tramp" refers to the Albuquerque Tram - the longest running tram system in the world. Aiden was very excited for his first ride to the top of the Sandia mountains and now he can't stop talking about his red and blue "tramp" rides.

















Once we got to the top of the mountains, it was a little colder than the weather man anticipated so we went to buy him a jacket. Once in the store he was desperate for a "licker stick" - also known as one of those stick suckers, however, when he says it, it distinctly sounds like "liquor."




Since our little mountain adventure, Aiden constantly refers to his "tramp" ride and getting his "lickers." If that is not enough to make people turn their heads, he also keeps referring to the cough he got from a cold as his "coffees." Oh what people must think when they hear him talk. Oh and please forgive me, I just could not resist my urge to put a crass title in here - I mean really, how often does one get an opportunity to name a kids blog something so inappropriate and make it work? ;)




Have I mentioned lately how much he makes us all laugh? I love this boy. =0)

Fairtime Fun

I just realized I forgot to put up pictures from fair time - so enjoy!




Super cool dragon tattoo



















What's a fair without cotton candy?








Fun with daddy!







Riding rides






And of course, what's a fair without a ferris wheel ride?

Balloon Fiesta

It's that time of year again, where hot air balloons fill the sky on our morning drive. When one day out of the week we wake up way too early to fight our way through the masses of balloons and enjoy donuts and coffee. And when I get to see that look of wonderment come across Aiden's face as he sits at our living room window to watch balloons glide over our house. Yeup - we love balloon fiesta time!
