Trip to New Mexico

In the beginning of July we drove (you heard that right, yikes!) to New Mexico to escape the sweltering Texas heat and enjoy the coolness of the Angel Fire mountains.  Every two years my family has a reunion up there and we have yet to miss one. It is great to be around everyone and this year the kids had an absolute blast running free in the mountains.  

We broke up our drive in two days and spent one night in Lubbock.  I was so excited when we saw a restaurant that I miss so much from New Mexico which is now also in Lubbock, Dion's, so naturally we had to eat there.  Here the kids are sporting their Dion's shirts

The next day we woke up an drove the rest of the way.  Here are our little snoozers:  We took Joshua's shirt off because he spilled something all over it and Quinn wanted to do the same:

Angel Fire is so peaceful and beautiful.  I snapped a photo of the scenery on one of my runs:

My dad, brother and Jaime built the kids a fort out of some logs next to our cabin:

Quinn and Joshua were so excited when their cousins Andrew and Olivia arrived.  Quinn stuck like glue to Olivia, it was cute!  Here the girls are ready for the 4th of July after spa time in the shower:

Joshua stuck to my brother, Uncle Eric.  It was the sweetest thing!

I didn't get too many photos of the actual reunion as you can imagine how busy I was trying to keep Joshua from wondering off in the wilderness or jumping off a pile of logs!  It was a fantastic time and we're already looking forward to the next one...
