Phil's parents came out this week to visit and Phil took a few vacation days so we could relax with them and do a few daytrips to sites that were new to us as well. Sasha loved having all the extra people around during the week and was in a great mood the whole time even when we dragged her out and about during her usual naptimes. Her favorite pasttime these days is climbing the stairs. She's barely taller than two steps but she is determined and persistent. Above Grandpa Smucker takes his turn at spotting her and celebrates with her at the top of the stairs below.

A picnic lunch before a hike at Tent Rocks National Monument, the country's newest national park/monument 30 minutes south of Santa Fe. The hike took us through a beautiful slot canyon (below).
