Visit with Kelly and Mark
Some friends of mine from HB were having a beach party and we got invited. The kids had a great time playing on the beach by day, then roasting hot dogs and enjoying the beach by night. Katelyn and Madison worshipped the ground Kelsey and Nathan walked on, and they all had a great time. It was great to catch up with Kelly and Mark, and see what good friends our kids are, despite the fact that they only see each other once a year.

Our first stop- Las Cruces
Our friend Richard lives in Las Cruces, NM and he offered us a place to spend the night the first night of our drive. We arrived around 3pm, ate a wonderful mexican food dinner at the famous La Posta restaurant. In the morning, Richard made us breakfast tacos and the promised "yum yums" for the kids for breakfast (a half a cantalope with vanilla ice cream and strawberries on top.) We leave early, so the kids needed to get up early to be able to eat before leaving, and they surprised me... Both were up and dressed in plenty of time to enjoy some "yum yums" before hitting the road again at 6am.
The 2009 Trip to California
Our annual trip to Ca began on 7/26. We normally leave about 6am so we can get a jump start on the day and make it all the way to New Mexico. This year, I suggested to the kids they could stay up all night and make us breakfast in the morning at 5:30am, then sleep in the car all day. They thought that was the coolest! I was sure they'd conk out sometime in the night, but when my alarm went off at 5:30am, I smelled cooking... the kids had made breakfast tacos. It was a fun start to the trip. They insisted they weren't tired, but within an hour of driving, they were out cold.
