Cloudcroft...Sunday

Day 4: We all woke up and went to White Sands National Monument. It was WONDERFUL. So much fun and so much sun. We were chilly all weekend in Cloudcroft, so the change to Alamogordo was nice. The sand was amazing and all of the kids (big and little) loved sledding!
On the way back to Cloudcroft we (just the 4 of us) decided to stop by a local burger place. These are some pictures of that drive. However, when we got to Blake's Lotaburger we quickly had a disaster. Will had a BLOW OUT diaper in the high chair. It was the worst place to have one and the grey onesis in this picture is now in a trash can somewhere in the desert of New Mexico...ah, fun...traveling with kids.
Later on Sunday evening the Mitchell's decided to take a scenic tour of the Lincoln National Forest...where we were the whole weekend.
















Cloudcroft...Saturday

Day 3: Morning at the house was always a little crazy. This morning, Drew Farell found some racoon tracks...so fun to watch the kids figure this stuff out.







Then a few of the families...Misemers, Kramers and us...went to Karr Canyon for a few hours.









That afternoon we blew bubbles (Will's favorite word) and then there were a LOT of sleepy childrend. Note: Avery tucked inside Collin's jacket...she asked him to zip her in. The Allsup's water bottle will always make me laugh...he LOVES their burritos. And then notice Judah playing with Glen's guitar...we ended up having a praise and worship time as adults after the kids went to bed.
