Girls Trip

Here's what happened during the NM part of our trip:

-On Sunday, Mar 29, we drove from Amarillo to Aztec. We had lunch in ABQ with Ryan Scott, Steven,Leslie and their two boys, and Stephanie Pafford and two of her kiddos. Looking back it was nice to hug Ryan's neck this time since I wasn't able to stop and see him and Kimber on the way home!

-On Tuesday, we kept Frances' grandson, Alex. He is eight days older than Annie.



-I took the girls to storytime in
Farmington on Wed. afternoon. They enjoyed the stories and songs. Then they had craft time and a movie. We didn't stay for the movie. The mayor and his wife carved out the book door. It was quite unique and beautiful.




-On Thurs., we spent a day in Durango with Frances. We shopped and had lunch by the river. We sat outside and it was cold!

-Saturday we had lunch at Red Lobster. The highlight was Jones drank a Red Rockin Shirley. Then we went to Sam's where the girls got to pick out a huge Easter basket.
Then off to church. The girls did great in their classes and nursery.

-Monday morning we woke to a surprise...the baby calf had been born! We had watched and waited all week. The girls were so excited.













It also snowed a couple of days while we were there and had fun making snow angels, a snowman and a snowcat with Grandma. The girls also helped Grandpa feed the donkey and cows every afternoon.









-Monday night, the girls and I attended the Passion Play Ministries International play. My dad played the part of Oziel in the Sanhedrin. It started at 7pm and we left at 930pm. The girls did great! Annie ended up falling asleep and the Jones and Georgia were only scared when it thundered and the curtain ripped. My dad is in a black robe behind the man in the red robe.




-Tuesday, we began our drive home! We spent the night with Joel and Kerri Thompson, Molly and Troy. We had so much fun! We made individual pizzas for supper and Kerri read Fancy Nancy to the girls. Troy and Annie went to bed at a decent hour, but the little girls ended up giggling and reading under the night light until 11:30pm. Kerri had individual parfaits for them to fix in the morning. And she did Jones, Georgia and Molly's hair before we left. She calls it the spider web and it was a hit with my girls especially when they found out Aunt Sheila and Kerri did their hair like that in college! Thanks to the Thompson's for welcoming us in and giving us a fantastic end to our journey!




-We stopped to see Aunt Sheila and Uncle John at ACU. We got a snack and a drink and let the girls chase birds and pick up pecans. Then, Jones and Georgia went bowling with Uncle John!

-We made it back to Temple around 6:15 pm and met Justin at church. It was nice to be missed by everyone. When we got to the house around 8pm, I left the car packed and came into the house to find Georgia doing this:

Wow y'all are busy bees! Sounds like you had a great trip. It's pretty hilarious that Georgia was scrubbing the floor! :)

Number one. You're not the first. A lot of girls feel tingly and giddy about hugging Ryan's neck.
Number two. Why didn't you tell me about Jonesy getting hammered at the Red Lobster?
Number three. If the Thompsons' was the end of your trip, then how did you get home?????
