rewind to memorial day

Let's back up 6 weeks or so...to Memorial Day. Gotta blog about it! For the 2nd year in a row we went to Ruidoso for the long weekend for one of John's TRIBE baseball tournaments. We have a great time and just make a little vacation out of it! This year the Stone's went with us, so even more fun was had! We timed our departure just right for a dinner stop in Tatum, NM for some out-of-this-world steak fingers. YUM!


We stayed in the same awesome condo and lived it up for a few days! John had a couple games the first day but we had plenty of time that afternoon to explore. Jess and I went to White Sands several times growing up and I just remember it being the highlight of the trip, hands down. We would slide down the sand hills, we'd bury each other up to our shoulders, it was SO fun. So we told our husbands our great idea of taking the boys there. They were up for it. I even already had little sled we could use that we used on the snow over Christmas in Angel Fire! Perfect! We got there. It was blazing hot. Our sleds wouldn't budge. Like not a bit. We couldn't slide down. The boys were getting sunburnt by the second. It just wasn't quite what we had in mind. So it was a fail. We will try again another time (if we can convince ANYONE to go back). Who knew snowsleds and sandsleds weren't the same thing. A sled is a sled is a sled right? WRONG!

The next day we watched a couple more games until we had to head back to the LBk, but not before a good hike in the "forest" as Braidy always says. He loves a good adventure through any forest. A fun little getaway was just what we needed as school was winding down for the year! Until next year...
