just wanted to share a few pictures from our road trip though texas and new mexico - i would have added regular mexico to this adventure but mom and cody insisted otherwise. i begged, i was at the boarded by accident, i saw mexico, but alas was out voted on the actual entering part.
anyways, we went to the desert in summer. hot, hot, hot. and beautiful and quiet and more stars than i knew could be seen with the naked eye......
so first we went to big bend national park with lions and skunks and bears oh my (yes a skunk fell in love with cody, brushed up against his leg like a cat as we were making dinner then CRAWLED INTO OUR TENT and i woke up face to face with a skunk - only a bug net separating us - but we escaped unsmelly so yeh for that). then we climbed 7000 foot high mountain. next we drove to the desert and i hugged this yucca cactus tree.
this is balmorhea state park, which a huge spring fed poo
l in the middle of desert, an oasis of sorts. 20 feet deep, 76 degrees, and crystal clear to the bottom with fish swimming with you. pretty nifty lil place.carlsbad caverns were amazing. a six mile hike - ALL UNDERGROUND. stalagmites and stalactites and big cavernous rooms filled with both. plus 56 degrees was a welcomed change from the 110 degree day it was above ground.
alrighty then.... hope you enjoyed the vacation images and that all is well on the home fronts.
love you each and every one. and miss you like crazy.
love
lindsey and cody
