First Family Vacation

Over Memorial weekend, the Lile Family trekked south of the border to Los Alamos, New Mexico (or as Anna says, "Lost Almost") to spend a week with Anna and her family. This was our first road trip as a family. Yes... we took a total of a 20 hour car ride with an 8 month old baby! Amazingly enough we survived and will probably do it again in the future! We got spoiled with some amazing cooking from Anna's mom and had a wonderful tour guide (Anna herself) to show us around Los Alamos and Santa Fe. The following pictures are a few highlights of our trip!

Only 8 months old and already wants the keys!

The Loretta Chapel was
built in1873
and is well
known for its
"Miraculous Staircase".









The "Miraculous Staircase"
The staircase has two 360 degree turns
and has no visible means of support.

Oldest House in the US! (1200-1646)

Cliff Dwellings in Bandelier National Park

This was one of many ladders
we got to climb while
touring the cliff dwellings.
Micah and I finally determined
that the ladders were only put
there to show you, and
everyone else in the world, how
out of shape you really are!!! :)

in Los Alamos, NM.
After a 10 hour
drive back to
Colorado, well
see if they are
all full of smiles!!!!

The "Jenius" aka

Anna & the "Freak"
aka Jessica are
trying real hard
to act normal!!
Don't ask about
the nicknames!
We don't even
know how they came
to be!!! :)

You think Micah would have learned
his lesson the first time!!!!

Well...we had a lovely stay in
Los, Alamos New Mexico, but
Greeley, Colorado is calling
us home now. Until next time...
