Rest assured, we are not dead. We were just merely without internet for a couple of days so I'm catching up on 3 days worth of traveling.
On Saturday we went to Bottomless Lakes State Park. It was hot, but the waters was amazingly cold which felt great. The kids saw paddle boats and asked to try them so Justin agreed and they headed out. At first, they were fighting over who was going to paddle, but they eventually gave up leaving Justin to do all the paddling.
We only spent a short time at the lake though since we had a long drive to Mayhill. Don't worry, nobody has heard of it. So how did we end up there? Justin joined this Facebook group, and one of the admins is this Pastor. This Pastor was visiting Anaheim not long ago and posted about it in the Facebook group. We met for dinner and we all very much enjoyed our time (kids and adults). So when we talked about driving through New Mexico on our trip we figured out a way to make it possible to drive through Mayhill where Pastor Matt Henslee preaches.
The house we were staying in was next door to the Henslee's and we were greeted by their 4 girls. The kids instantly started playing and we pretty much spent the next 2 days hanging out, eating, and honestly (at least for us) enjoying the best 2 days of vacation.
After church on Sunday, we headed to White Sands National Monument to go sand sledding. So when you see what looks like snow pictures, know this is purely white sand. It was STUPID hot, but if you dug your feet into the sand far enough at least the sand was cool. We didn't last very long though since the heat was quite overwhelming and although sledding down the sand dunes was awesome, climbing up was exhausting (especially in the heat).
Overall, a fantastic few days, but I'm glad we're on the last few days of our trip. I'm ready to be home.
