Ryan=7 Years

For Ryan's birthday, we went to the Albuquerque BioPark and spent the whole day at the various facilities. We began at the Aquarium:

We spent an hour or so at the Zoo and then rode back to the Botanic Gardens, where we saw the Butterfly Pavilion. After going home and eating dinner, Ryan opened gifts. The main one was this telescope (the Isaac was extra):
Once it's no longer cloudy and the sun sets before 9 pm, we'll use it. This was followed by cake, which Summer decorated as Ryan's favorite planet (Mars) and its two moons:
Ryan had that smile on his face all day. It was a very fun day, much like the past seven years of having Ryan in our lives.
