Tent Rocks rock!

We took our first family hike since we have been in NM. We absolutely LOVED it! the kids had a blast & were totally exhausted when we got home. (Mom & Dad were pretty tired as well)

The hike was roughly 3 miles long & the kids were having a blast. Not only did Billy have Re-Re on his back, he also had the H2O in there. He was glad when we made it to the top.

Some of the hike was a tight squeeze!








Daddy & the kiddos on the way down from the top! We had to pull aside since the path was SO narrow & we moved a bit slower that the average hiker. The kids were really troopers.

This is a view as we were heading UP. We paused only to check out the view & then on to the top to see it all!

The girls were always facinated by all the rocks that were "balancing". We also found rocks in the shape of a dinosaur head & soccerballs.

The photo of mom & kiddos is taken on top of Tent Rocks. We have taken a family vote & decided we have to go hiking ATLEAST once a month. We are in search of kid-friendly trails so if you know of any in our area, shoot me an email! :)

Officially OUT!

Billy went on terminal leave on April 27th. We were lucky enough to have 2 weeks off to get somethings done around the house. Ceiling fans, lights, bookcases, the list goes on.....

He will begin is civilian career on Monday, May 14th. While it has been great having him home for two weeks, I am ready to get back to life. Anytime he has been off that long, we have been traveling so having him home was a bit unusual & confusing as I still had work to do but really just wanted to spend time with him.

We are excited to embark on this new direction in life that God has led us to. It has been an interesting life in the AF & we are excited about our new life as "normal" people. (just kidding) One of the most exciting things is that we can build equity in a home. (Are we nuts or what?)
