We are HOME!!

It is nice to be home! We left Monday morning and went to Roswell N.M. and camped at Bottomless lakes state park. We were plesently suprised at how nice it was and how much fun we had! We could of all done without the flies and mosquitos (that they sprayed for this morning before we packed up to come home!!), but other than that it was a blast. The kids swam daily in the CLEAR lake water trying to catch fishes in their hands and built sand castles in the sandy beach. We rented paddleboats and explored the lake. It is salt water and is 90 feet deep. They have life guards on duty and there were many times that we were the ONLY ones in the lake. I guess being there during the week days has it's advantage. We spent many hours at the playground that was covered from the sun. We did tour Roswell one day and even went through the Alien/UFO museum. That was a waste of time, but the kids got a kick out of it! While we were away Faith posted some of our family pictures on her blog. Check them out! She did an awesome job and I can not wait to see the rest!






On Wednesday we drove into Roswell and spent the afternoon with a friend of mine from Slaton and her 2 kids (Her husband was playing golf!). Jodi and I have been friends since we were old enough to ride bikes and terrorize the neighborhood. We have not seen each other since our High School reunion but in 3 hours we caught up on old times. My kids asked me today when we were going back to play with Colton and Abby. Thanks Jodi for a very fun afternoon!! We all had a great time!
