Trip to Taos

On Labor Day we spent the day in Taos, enjoying the sights. We've lived in New Mexico for 4 years now and haven't ventured out of Albuquerque much. It was fun to see a new place. As part of our trip we drove up to Taos Ski Valley and for a brief moment I felt like we were back home in Utah amongst the aspens. It was beautiful and the air was so crisp and fresh....oh I wish we lived closer to the mountains! At the end of the day we were tired and the boys were sick of riding in the car; however, I found myself so full of happiness. It is always rewarding to spend quality time together as a family. There truly is no greater joy that I find than watching my children delight in the simple things of life (like the pictures below of them riding on a mechanical horse).
