Holiday Hooray!!!

We spent part of our Labor Day holiday weekend in Taos, NM with Dustin's parents. David loved spending time his Grandma & Grandpa Hinton and Aunt Danielle. We shopped on the plaza, visited the arts & crafts fair and tried to visit a couple of art museums but they were closed. Of course no trip is complete without visiting the park to play on the playground.

Right after lunch we decided to go to the plaza. We had parked a ways away (and we forgot to pack the stroller) so we walked a short distance to the plaza. Along the way we came across this nice little built in bench and though it would be perfect for a nice family picture. Continuing along the walk David got bored and in order to keep on the sidewalk and not in the road, Grandpa let David walk on the wall. This was a great adventure for David and he continued to try to climb and walk on every wall we encountered.

While shopping on the plaza we came a across a bookstore. I took David back to the children's section to pick out some books. Down at his level is a "Cars" book. Written especially for children learning to read. Now obviously David can't read yet, but we read to him and he recognizes the pictures. He probably sat in that store for a good 20 minutes "reading" "Cars" to us and everyone else in that section. We of course bought if for him. Not too far away from the bookstore, when David decided to leave, we found this horse ride. David loved riding it, although he was a little unsure of it at first. He had a great time and kept asking for more please!

Taking a close look at your family pic on the bench, I have decided that David looks like you. You guys have the same nose and everything!
