New Mexico Part 1



 We traveled to New Mexico again this summer with my family. The hubby didn't get to go to White Sands last time we all went, so that was one of our first stops this time around. 

It.is.so.cool.

 The boys found sticks (somewhere) and drew and drew. LJ called the sand "snow" and got upset when we corrected him.


We also visited the Three Rivers Petroglyph Site. These amazing rock carvings were made over 600 years ago. We had to hike up a rocky mountain half a mile - I wasn't sure how the little man would do but he LOVED it. 

 Hiking up the rocks.
 Checking out some of the carvings.
 One of the amazing carvings...

...and another. Some of the patterns and pictures looked very modern. Not 600 years old!


 Dad and boys maneuver the rocks.

 We couldn't go to NM without a stop out at the Inn of the Mountain Gods. The kids favorite part of our visit out there...

 ...it wasn't taking pictures...

...it was skipping rocks in the lake! Dad/Uncle J showed the kids how to do it a couple of times and they went to town!
