Albuquerque July 2010

The trip to Albuquerque was very emotional and exhausting. It was hard to see my Grandpa ("Gramper") so ill. He has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and is on Hospice. It was hard to console him while he was crying because he could not remember people/things and he thought he would never remember anything. We had some great moments though that I will treasure and his smile is priceless. When I brought him chocolate he lit up like a little boy! Here are some pictures of my week stay...

Kim and I. She took one of us that is really cool (it shows that she and I have the same blue eye color!). When I get it, I will post it later:

On the way home. Those darn windmills!:

Big gorgeous flowers that were on the Temple grounds:
