A Trip to Taos

President's Day Weekend found us traveling three and a half hours away to Taos, NM.  This hippy dippy little town boasts typical touristy New Mexican treasures as well as a ski resort.  The purpose of the trip was to ski with our good friends, The Erwins, but when all was said and done, there was not a lot of skiing to be had (at least not by the Zierchers).

Instead there was a Girls' Day complete with delicious massages and a scrumptious lunch.  A park play date for Bennett and Edie, throwing rocks into the river, lots of Wii and a number of super fun Dummy Rummy games.

the decorating style was very eclectic, but somehow it worked...

It was a pretty day but chilly, especially for playing near the river.  But that's what we did...

throwing rocks into the water is just so fun!

i'm not naming names but someone took an unintended dip in the freezing river

The outside play structure in Toas is so sweet.  The afternoon warmed up and it was lovely to lounge in a chair with Jill while the older kiddos played.
