Kirsten and I started it with a tea party with real hot chocolate. Kirsten was the queen and was just in heaven pouring me "tea" and putting the marshmallows and chocolate chips in it.
We decided since Jonathan had Thursday and Friday off that we'd hit the road and head out to Carlsbad Caverns.
The caves were 750 feet below us
And they were so cool. It was seriously huge. I've never seen anything like it.
Kirsten was so interested in everything. She kept saying how cool it was.
but the walk around the caves was over a mile and about half way through she got a little crazy and wanted to be held the rest of the way.
Colton was very intrigued with everything too.
Of course the best part of the trip, for Kirsten, was staying at a hotel. I don't know what it is but it's like the greatest day ever if Kirsten gets to stay in a hotel.
So, we went swimming. As you can see Colton likes to swim a little. He's at that age that he has no fear. So he would back into the pool like he was backing down stairs. He only went under once and he thought that was pretty funny.
The next day we went to the Guadalupe Mountains. This is the highest point in Texas. Pretty exciting...
And yes, Kirsten is wearing the same dress she wore the day before. In our hurry to leave we totally forgot Kirsten's suitcase...pretty ridiculous.
We had a great time on our little trip. I love road trips.
We got home Friday night, in time for the 4th of July festivities. We woke up early for a breakfast at the church. And then got lots of relaxation time during the day.
Kirsten knew we were going to our friends house that night for a bbq and swimming and so about 2 hours before we were supposed to leave she looked like this...
Unfortunately, this is what it looked like about 1 1/2 before we were to leave.
Luckily, it cleared up on our way over so Kirsten was able to get her swimming in.
Jonathan and I were so proud of Kirsten. She is a little nervous in the water and she actually went down the slide!
And again Colton had a blast in the pool with Daddy.
Seriously a great weekend.
