NYC, DC, Philly

Dave and I went on a great trip together! It started my driving our little family down to Albuquerque, NM to Grandma and Grandpa Minks house. We stayed a day and a half with the boys there. Next we flew out to Philly, were we met Kevin and Noelle (Dave's brother) It was so fun to see them. Kevin is in Dental School at Temple University, and they are expecting their first baby! :) They will have the first little girl Mink grandchild, and we are so excited! With Kevin and Noelle we did a lot of sightseeing!!! First we visited New York City for 2 days, then spent a day in Philly, then drove to Washington DC and spent 2 days there. We finished up with our last day in Philly, visiting their ward and sight seeing. It was great! After the trip we flew back to New Mexico where we celebrated Collins 4th BIRTHDAY!!!! We spent a day and a half playing with family again, and getting ready for the 12 hour drive home back to Highland :)
Here are some pictures from our trip!
After we came home we celebrated Collins birthday one more time with a Superhero Batman Party with 12 little 3/4 year old's running around.

Thank you so much Kevin and Noelle for touring us around and making it such a fun trip! We love you.

But they (and we) really love you guys.
