Ohio Cooksey Visit

We had a great visit with our Ohio kids.  Our son Chris, his wonderful wife Tracy and our grand son Javier arrived Friday evening.  On Saturday Chris, Javier and I went to Cliff’s Amusement Park.

Javier has a really good touch with a basketball and won a neat stuffed monkey at one of the games.

Chris was the brave one riding all the extreme rides.

Saturday evening, Betty, Chris, Javier and I rode the tram up to the top of the Sandia Mountains and had dinner at the High Finance Restaurant.  Tracy is not keen on heights.

After dinner we watched a hang-glider ride the up drafts along the mountain top.

The main attraction, of course, was watching the sunset from the mountain top.

Finally, Sunday afternoon after church, we all went down to Old Town to do some shopping.

They left this morning – heading to Oklahoma City to visit with some friends.  It was a great visit and a lot of fun.

Come back any time kids.

New Mexico looks very pretty and your visit looked like fun. Not sure about the amusement park though. Rides get me all off balance now....well, more than usual anyway. LOL
