During our brief visit with Greg’s grandparents, it was brought to my attention that I have been slacking way too much on this blog. Some people would actually like to know what is going on in their grandchildren and great-grandchildren’s lives. Keeping that in mind, I’ll try to get back in the swing of things. It might not be very much at first, but as school starts up and we get back on normal schedules, I should be able to post more often.
I have many things to recap from our trip but thought I would leave you with these pictures.
I was putting the ironing board away after using it for Stetson’s quilt. I must make ironing look fun because Allison decided that she needed to try it out. Especially when she realized that it could be moved down to her level. “I am so Great at this!”.
I love how she looks so serious while she is doing this.
Just as a side note, almost the only time the iron gets used is when I am sewing something. Our clothes are about the most wrinkled you will find.
Just a quick recap of our vacation over the last few days. More detailed posts will follow. I promise.
1. Shreveport, not our true starting location (I’m not going to put it on the web), but close enough.
2. Wichita Falls, TX – Hotel for sleeping before heading out Wednesday morning.
3. Lawton, OK (Wednesday)- First real day of vacation. We visited places from Greg’s childhood.
4. Clovis, NM – Woohoo! Made it to Stephen’s. After dinner for them and some dessert for us, everyone fell asleep.
5. Eagle Nest, NM (Thursday PM – Saturday AM) – Almost as far North as you can go in New Mexico. Hiking, taking in the scenery and just spending some relaxing time together.
6. Roswell, NM (Saturday Lunch time) – A few hours for a nice visit with Greg’s maternal Grandparents (and some aliens)
7. Carlsbad Caverns, NM – We almost drove the whole length of New Mexico. Stalagtites, Stalagmites, and watching thousands and thousands of bats fly out of the cave at dusk.
8. Midland, TX (Late, Late, Saturday night) – On the road back home again. Swimming and a bookstore in the morning before the last 10 hours of the drive home.
1 (again). – Home sweet Home!
Total miles (not counting just driving around towns) – about 2100
