What Fun We Had

That's my girl!! I am so glad that she was not afraid to hold the snail! The snail was not the only wildlife we saw-we also saw several bucks, does, and fawns.  There was even a doe and two baby fawns that rested and spent the whole day in the yard at Gigi and Papa's house.  It was beautiful to see! We had such a wonderful time in New Mexico! We are so glad that we got to see Jackson and Bryson!  God sure has blessed us with handsome boys and beautiful girls!

Outside Fun

 We all enjoyed playing outside on the front porch, watching the deer walk by, blow bubbles, and dig in the dirt. in the first picture, Lilly loved watching and trying to pop the bubbles. Where's Bella? in the second picture-she fits exactly behind Bryson in the second picture, and Steph found a snail that all three cousins showed quite an interest in!  While we were there, temps were in the 80s during the day and in the uppers 50s to lower 60s at night.  Little to no humidity! Mama loved it!!!

Random NM Pics

 

Jackson, Bryson, and Bella enjoyed painting with water colors, Lilly loved eating her cereal in the high chair that mama used, and aren't Bryson and Lilly son photo genetic?!

So Pretty

Auntie Sara and Gigi held Lilly every chance they got. Lilly of course obliged and enjoyed it!

Fox Cave

Fox Cave is a "junk" gift shop inside a cave.  It was open when Gigi was a little girl, closed, and recently re-opened.  The kids really enjoyed seeing an actual cave, but wanted to go deeper in it than what is allowed. Bella posed with an alien in the gift shop part of the cave and all three cousins posed for a picture behind bars! Lilly enjoyed sleeping in the truck with Papa!

Water Fun

While in Ruidoso, we went to the city pool and had a blast! Jackson and Bryson loved sliding down the big slide with Steph and Sara while Lilly and Bella had fun kicking in the water. Bella did great floating, kicking, and blowing bubbles in the big pool and in the kiddie pool.  Lilly really loved it-she would just kick and kick her feet, coo, and she had the biggest smile on her face! Fun was had by all-we were there for three hours! And yes, Lilly stayed in the water that whole time-that is how much she loved it!

Fun at Gigi and Papa's

After we left Moms's, we went up to the mountains to  Ruidoso, New Mexico where Gigi and Papa live.  While here, Lilly enjoyed playing with Papa, Bella enjoyed making shapes out of beads with Jackson, and all three enjoyed using stamps.  Steph (the sitter that came with Sara to help drive and keep up with the four) loved having her hair fixed.  Bryson and Bella could be hair stylist and Jackson can take care of the pedicures;).
