Mud Town

First week of OCTOBER

Road Trip Day 9

Albuquerque

A warm autumn afternoon playing in the mud with your best buds, life is grand...

The girls had been planning, shaping and molding their MUD TOWN with working canals for sixth months. 

What joy to join in and get all muddy!

Day 9

October 1, 2011

On the last day of September we left Durango, Colorado and drove south to Albuquerque, New Mexico.  Destination = FRIENDS.  We were blessed with being guests at the home of our dearest friends for a week.  We arrived in the afternoon after waiting for over a year to visit our friends in their new home town; there were hugs and there was laughter, play and exploration before dinner and an early bed time.  We had to wake at the 4 o'clock hour to make it to the balloon park.  This was the first day of the 40th annual Balloon Fiesta.  It was our first time to New Mexico and a first at being up close to hot air balloons!  It was beautiful.
