at the end of  the hayride we had a lovely picnic lunch with

lemonade, coffee, and cookies awaiting us for our snacks.

Walkabout

Nothing to do so here we go a walking.

Albuquerque has many Trailheads and Nature parks

along the Rio Grande river, this was the first one we found.

Rio Grande River.

Shirley and Max.

Dick looking good.

Snow covered mountains in the background.

Ready to Fly

  Some of the many sculptures that are dotted around the river trails.

Dead tree carvings, like the ones in Tomball.

The coyotes will howl.

We even saw a hot air balloon filling up and flying, and it's not even Balloon Festival Time.

Balloons are quite common here because of the clear skies and fair weather.

We had a great three hour walk.

Dick and Max sleep for hours afterwards.

Two tired boys.
