Aunt Heather's Visit

We were lucky enough to have Aunt Heather come to visit! She had some time off and drove over from Albuquerque, New Mexico to spend a couple of days with us. Here is a picture of Heather, Natalie, and Hillary at the park taken by Jordan... pretty good picture for a 3 year old. 

Swinging at the park. This is Jordan's absolute favorite thing to do at parks and he will swing as long as you let him... one hour straight isn't even close to being done for this boy. Because of her brother's example, Natalie thinks swinging is pretty cool too. 

In September Heather had a birthday, so we thought we would make her some cupcakes to celebrate. Jordan and Heather had lots of fun making the frosting different colors. Jordan and Natalie had fun eating the cupcakes... well, Jordan licked all the frosting off of his and called it good... as he always does. 

A friend of mine told me about a neat place called Trail Dust Town.
It is a mini Wild West town. We loved it! 

Oh ya, cowboy and cowgirl. Yeehaa!

Turns out Preston is a wanted man. 

And this is what happens to outlaws; Sheriff Jordan lassos them and takes them to jail. Poor outlaw, he looks so sad. 

Shoe shinning time. 

Jordan was thrilled to find Bulls-Eye, his friend Woody's trusty horse. He loved that you could put money into it to make it move. He said Bulls-Eye is, "My very best pal."

We had a wonderful time exploring the town. It was so neat to be in this place where you could really imagine what the Wild West was like. 

Taking a break by the gazebo. Snack time!

What's a cowboy town without a train ride? Choo choo!

Natalie was all tuckered out by dinner time. She needed some cuddle time to make it through dinner. Good thing Daddy was there to help her out. 

After dinner at Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse we went on a Merry-Go-Round ride. It was all we could do to get Jordan to leave that ride. Heather and Jordan went on a little Ferris Wheel also. It was a great time at Trail Dust Town in the Wild West part of the country. We are so glad we could enjoy these times with Heather. Thanks for visiting!
