Cabin trip

Red River, NM
The highlight of our trip was hiking to Wheeler Peak, highest point in New Mexico (13,161 feet above sea level).  It was my 2nd hike to Wheeler.  We left at 6:30am in the morning and returned home at 5:30pm.  We took the longer hike so that we could enjoy the scenic views.  We encountered mountain sheep which were territorial due to their babies.  One charged us but Layton fired off a warning shot.  We retreated for a bit and then continued on the trail.  On the way, we stopped at Lost Lake and Horseshoe Lake, which were beautiful.


The end of the cannon comes off for you to date and sign your name.  




Can you see Chad hanging off the rock cliff?  It's just an illusion.


All of us at Lost Lake.  The camera on a rock using self timer.



Flowers for Savannah.


Forth of July Parade




 Aunt Carlie and Gran were in the parade!






Fishing, feeding ducks, and playing in creeks
















My mountain climbers.





 Notice Savannah has already reached the top.  She was so proud.  Tate needed a little assistance from Aunt Carlie. 
 We made it!  I love how Savannah put her arm around Tate as if to say, "Hey bro, it's okay." 
 Aunt Carlie saying, "Hey wait, we can't go down that way, its too steep!."

Morning walks, 4-wheeling, wildlife, and family time








Tate loves his Gran.  He can't get enough of her.

 Savannah loves feeding the chipmunks.
Look to the right of Savannah.  The chipmunks weren't scared of Savannah.  She'd sit so still and quiet to see the chipmunks close up.
