Vacation Comes to an End

Well, it took me a few hours to catch up in the BLOG & Facebook world upon my return from Red River. Glad to see everyone is enjoying their summer too!
We took the kids to Red River, NM this past week and had a wonderful time (minus car trouble and kids getting sick) but it was still such a relaxing trip that we all needed. We will miss the beautiful scenery and on horseback was just as amazing. I felt like I was on a movie set!
We stayed at a Condo called Caribel. Highly recommended on the bottom floor with the pond view. The balcony opens up just steps from the pond with picnic tables, outdoor grill and seating around the pond to fish or just relax. Here's a view from our Balcony. It's a private pond with playground, horseshoes and volley ball with a creek that surrounds the place. They stock the pond every Tuesday so we were able to see trout swimmnig around, they are a beautiful fish (if a fish was actually beautiful). Brooke caught one of the biggest ones yet so Jeff was pretty proud of that!

Kids had their own room with a TV and Fridge. They felt pretty cool to have the fridge stocked with their own drinks and snacks!

Here's the Rainbow Trout! It's a keeper.....

Brooke walking across the creek. My dare devil!

Blaine throwing a horse shoe for the first time and the next one is after he got a RINGER! He was pretty excited and jumped for joy!
Few random pics from the horseback riding and Cowboy Supper with Michael Martin Murphy. His daughter, 19 year old Sarah, will be attending WT next year. She is a great "cowgirl" poet!
