Road Trip 7-23-08

About noon on Wednesday I developed an itch to get out of the house. On impulse I decided to load up the boys & drive around and explore a bit. Well, we finally made it back home 4 hours later. And let me tell you, some of the scenery we saw was enough to take your breath away. I cannot believe some of the amazing, awesome, breath taking views we have around here. The weather was absolutely GORGEOUS and felt simply wonderful!!! Most of our trip through the mountains I had the windows down & A/C off. Enjoy the pictures.

looking back to Los Alamos, in the Jemez mountains.

still evidence of the wildfire 8 yrs ago.

looking at the south-eastern rim of the valles caldera.

(the valles caldera is a collapsed volcano, just west of los alamos)

{remind me to tell you about that hwy later}

*word of advice: If you plan on taking a drive for more than 30 minutes in the middle of no where with kids, take some snacks & drinks (and plenty of bottles/formula if need be).

the car trip home

I had more pics I wanted to post but unfortunatly while I was in Texas my other camera got lost. I was hoping against all hope that it would turn up in my truck or at my mom's house but so far, no such luck! So I just have to start over with the ol' backup Samsung. More to follow.

4th of July weekend

I just realized it had been over a month since I posted anything new about the boys, so here it is. The boys & I drove home for the 4th & have been busy, busy, busy!!! On Thursday BOTH of them got haircuts! Yes, I got Mason's haircut & he looks SOOOO different. Friday we joined the rest of the gang for the fireworks in Buda. Saturday the boys spent the day in Hutto w/ Granny. And it was church for all on Sunday (our whole family {minus Danny} fills up one and a half pews just in case you wanted to know). I've got a bunch of pictures to post but I forgot the cord to connect my camera to my computer so they will just have to wait. I'll post them just as soon as I get back to New Mexico. I promise.
