We headed out to the Native American ruins in Aztec, New Mexico. The tribal people were not truly Aztec, but they are not sure which tribes moved through here. There is evidence of the Chaco Indians (south of here) and those at Mesa Verde (north of here). It may possibly have been half way point for travel. No one knows for sure, but the structures date back to 1200.
At the end of the tour, the kids earned their Jr. Ranger badges after filling out a questionaire about the indigenous peoples. They were sworn in by the park ranger.
Later on...
We dropped my car off to see what was up with the air conditioning and headed to the Animas River near Michelle's house. The kids always have fun playing and pretending in the cool water.
As we left the area, we stopped at some fun water fountains. The weather has been warm and muggy so the water was refreshing.
