Camping Again!
This time we "met in the middle" with some good friends from AZ. Our meeting place was in southern NM where we've camped before so we could go on the Catwalk hike again.

I'm behind again
I want to post about the last couple of adventures we've been on, but I'm in school. Since finals are next week, I need to work on that first. But I'll get back to blogging soon.

The Very Large Array
We made it here again, this time with a camera! There is a walking tour and a little visitors center so we learned a bit about the place. But we mostly just gazed at the enormity of the satellites. It's just really cool to be near them. We saw them moving and adjusting several times.

Creatures from our last camping trip
We saw several interesting creatures. So many I thought they deserved their own post.
The first was hiding under our tent. We found it as we were folding up the tent to put it away. It's the first scorpion we've ever seen out of captivity. And that's after living in the desert for several years!
The next one we caught while he was going for a swim in the lake.
This one was crawling around the grave site. We see a lot of lizards around our home, so usually seeing a lizard isn't such a big deal. But this one was 9 or 10 long! Much bigger than we usually see.
The last one actually bit each of my children! At least it didn't hurt them.

Bottomless Lakes
We bought a boat!
So we had to try it out the first weekend we could. We went down near Roswell,NM to visit the lakes near there. It rained on us Friday night, but it cleared up pretty quick and we had a fun day playing in the water.
puddle hopping
In the water
The morning sky
My pregnant belly
Gordon putting the girls to work
Here you can see the blue sky we had for most of the day (just ignore the pregnant lady)
On our drive home we paid a visit to Billy the Kid's grave site.
The gravestone is in a cage because it has been stolen several times! The last time they recovered it they prepared a more secure way to keep it.

Eve induced haircut
Well since Eve cut off one piggy-tail....
I cut off the rest.
And yes, Eve did get to go to bed early that night for her protection. I grow a little too attached to my daughter's hair. Since I know we're not out of the hair-cutting phase yet.
