Mountain Mama

We enjoyed our little "mountain get-away" to Ruidoso, New Mexico. John Paul, Malissa and Raellen joined us as well. The girls had fun collecting acorns, pinecones and rocks. We also had a herd of very friendly deer that visited our cabin each day to have a bite to eat. Then it was off to the races....or close enough. Emily and Raellen rode ponies and learned to skip rocks in the Ruidoso river. At the end of each day, the girls (and the adults) were pooped. Now it's back to reality and 90 degree weather.

Ready, Set....Swim!

Emily has become a regular fish in the water this summer. She took swimming lessons at the new Texas Tech leisure pool. She has learned to blow bubbles, kick her feet and move her arms to swim. Her favorite part was jumping off the side of the pool. Isn't summer great?!
