WHEW! Today I finally got back home for good and it feels great! 10 days ago I left with the kids and my Mom and went to Ruidoso where Mere, Ryan and Blake met up with us. Then, I came home by myself (9 hour drive, mind you) with the kids so Jonathan and I could go on a couples float trip on the Comal River. Both trips were really fun. I'll focus on Ruidoso in this post. First of all, two very important family members couldn't go and that totally changed the trip, not for the better guys, Dad and Jonathan had to stay put and do adult things, like work. We went to the horse races, I lost money, we went to the Casino, we all lost money, we played in the river and looked for jewels, we shopped, ate, played, laughed, all the things you're supposed to do on a trip. We even went to the Flying J Ranch one evening, that is not something we would normally do as my Dad shys away from anything in Ruidoso that does not include hiking, hiking or hiking and maybe some biking. It was fun, especially for the kids, and the shows before and after dinner were really entertaining. Our friends the Bixby's treated all of us, so thanks a bunch to them for an excellent night!
Horse races, no horse pictures though.
The hike Dad would have hated, don't laugh at my hat, but it was a good one for little legs.

This last picture is a snapshot of my sister doing something that made me laugh really hard. She was on a type of bungee apparatus and was attempting to do a flip, she wasn't successful but it wasn't because she didn't try. I'll have to let her give the details from her perspective, I'm sure we'll all be able to laugh right along at her.

I personally love the hat!! I am so jealous that I wasn't there to see ya'll. I'm glad you had a fun 10 days of vacation. That's awesome! But I am also glad that you are back posting, b/c I missed you:)
We missed hearing from you! So glad you had fun. We are thinking of going to Ruidoso in a couple of weeks. We need to try and plan to go at the same time next year. We always miss you guys by a couple of weeks. I love the picture of Mere at the end!!!
Ten days is a long time - I'm glad you are back!
