We Made It

CIMG1567 We left Colorado Springs right around 9:00am on Saturday and made it to New Mexico about 2:30pm. So all in all I think we did pretty good considering we made several stops and were going slow in places to take pictures. But anyway, Wilson's parents have several miniature donkeys that they breed and sell. They were very interesting animals.

CIMG1546 This is Wilson(on the right) and his father feeding and taking pictures of the donkeys. And yes these donkeys are full grown.

CIMG1553 These last three pictures are of Zach. He is the newest edition to the family of donkeys they have. They had somewhere between 10-15 donkeys while I was there but some of them were just there to breed or were about to be sold.

This was the view you had from the porch of their house. The last picture is their house. Wilson's dad was burning tumble weeds at the time of the picture, hence the smoke.

And finally the view of the mountains from their house.
