Welcome to Tumbleweeds Newspaper

Our Spring 2013 Issue

Tumbleweeds, the quarterly magazine full of news, views and to-dos for families living in or visiting Santa Fe, NM.
On the cover: Spring Flowers!

Lauren, Jeremiah, and Aubrey Clokey of Santa Fe enjoyed a taste of spring weather at the Randall Davey Audubon Center in February with their parents, Tanya and Adrian Clokey. Lauren, age 5, attends kindergarten at E.J. Martinez Elementary and she loves to swim – “she’s a little fish,” says her mom.” Jeremiah, age 9, is in third grade at E.J. and plays basketball and baseball. Aubrey, age 4, stays with her grandma during the day, and she enjoys gymnastics. The whole family loves baseball and is looking forward to a trip to Los Angeles this summer to watch the Dodgers play the Yankees. Photo © Ana June.
