You say tomato...

I did it! I actually grew something. I grew one tomato. We ate it tonight for dinner and it was delicious. Here it is right before I picked it...And this is right before we ate it- Caprese salad. One of my favorites.

To the ZOO!

Before we left ABQ last weekend we stopped by the zoo. It was a bit hot and most of the animals were... resting. The kids had a lot of fun anyway- we saw a lot of animals, but the kids especially loved the cats (Delia calls them the MEOWS!). Our camera stopped working halfway through our visit, so we didn't get a ton of great shots. Here's what we ended up with...
The rhinos were huge!

Go 'Topes!

This weekend we went to Albuquerque for a quick trip- the kids were great and we had a fun time. On Saturday night we went to the Isotopes game, and the kids loved it. Delia's favorite was Orbit (the mascot)- she was enthralled with him. When I asked Isaac what he liked he told me, "The popcorn and the ice cream." The kids didn't notice, but the Isotopes won. Here they are at the game with Grandpa and Pop...Here's a series of pics of the kids in their seats- I thought Isaac was being hilarious...

Lyle Lovett Concert

This week I took the kids to the Lyle Lovett concert at the college near our house. Thankfully the weather was great (last year we got soaked at the Beach Boys concert downpour) and the kids had a great time. We spent most of the time in the back with Pop who was working a booth with the rest of the Fisher clan. Lovett came on late, so we only heard a handful of songs... Isaac was sad he missed his favorite- "That's Right You're Not from Texas".
