We're Back from Texas!

Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico!! Here we are at the Entrance to Carlsbad Caverns. After Shad's sister got married, the following week we packed up and drove 3 and half hours to New Mexico. We camped in the blistering heat. Thank goodness for Air Conditioned Cabins, and the pool! We loved the caves. We hiked in for about an 1 hour and half, and then hiked inside for another hour. This cave makes Timpanogos Cave seem ridiculous.


Here is Shad and the kids inside the Cave. The Cave is 750Ft. Deep and to get out you take an elevator Straight up!



Here is the whole Family! Chandler does not look too excited in ANY of these pics. He was the lucky one that got carried the whole time! The next day on the 4th of July, we came back the caverns and although there were not any fireworks, we got to see 350,000 bats fly out the cave to get a delicious dinner of bugs! It was really neat to see them fly out. It took over 30 min to see them all leave the cave!


This is Brooklyn with the the Tye-Dye shirt she made. The KOA that we stayed at had some activities for the kids. So we helped both Brooklyn and Chandler make a shirt.

This is Brooklyn and Chandler in our cabin getting ready to go Swimming. It was REALLY hot in New Mexico so we went Swimming everyday!

I lived in New Mexico for 14 years and never went to Carlsbad Caverns. I also lived 14 years in Arizona and never saw the Grand Canyon. Chances are I'm never getting up to Tempanogus caves. Sounds like a fun trip.
