We had a picnic together and the kids told me how awesome I was because they each got an individual pringles can AND a capri-sun. Yep, I rock.
We took a hike to explore some mini-caves. I loved hearing the kids' exclamations about finding "fossils". At one point, Amy had so many rocks in her pockets that she gained about 10 pounds.
"A straight plummet to certain death," was the phrase Tara uttered for about 20 minutes. She changed it up slightly by adding, "I wish we had stayed on the surface of the Earth."
I won't lie to you, after 2 1/2 hours of Kyra in the baby bjorn and an occasional sibling on the hip, I was wishing I had stayed on the surface of the earth too. It is amazing how tiring wrangling kids in a no touching area can be.

That looks like so much fun aside from the whole "straight plummet to certain death" part. I bet Tara will have a great score on her SAT vocab section.
When is Tara's baptism because I feel like it has been so long since we have seen you guys. We may have to come visit.
light up eyes? wow! how do i get some of those? ian cracks me up!
Sounds like you got quite the workout! Looks like fun though, I love those simple family trips!
That looks like fun. And I love the comments from the kids. Adorable!
That sounds like so much fun. We've been toying with the idea of heading out there, I guess it may be worth it...now just time to talk to Shane into leaving Midland for a day with the family.
Straight plummet to certain death and light up eyes....awesome!
I feel like my family visited Carlsbad Caverns six thousand times in my childhood! Do you still walk on that creepy bridge over the GIANT BLACK HOLE that they tell you is the deepest hole in the entire world? I attribute my hideously irrational fear of heights to that part of the tour.
That looks like so much fun. So Ian is already a charmer. Watch out for that one.
Looks like a fun little family vacation. I am glad to finally be home from mine. We sure enjoyed our visit with you. Maybe next time we can go to Carlsbad Caverns. How far is it from you?
