Father's Day Weekend

We went camping on Friday for Father's Day in the same area that we had a picnic for Mother's Day. We all three slept in the tent together. It was a blistering 101 degrees in Alamogordo and lowered to 97 once we climbed in elevation at Aguirre campgrounds near Las Cruces.

We grilled hamburgers and roasted marsh mellows. We had to collect wood around the area for the fire.

Gwen did very well. She had sunscreen on and we tried to keep her in the shade. Once we were up there on Friday the sun was on it's way down, and we left the next morning by 8 0'clock or so. We then went into Las Cruces for breakfast, and after that went back to Alamogordo. We did take a short walk with Gwen in the morning though. We scoped out other camp sites for the future.

Adam was playing with Gwen by tapping her with his hat. The rocker chair was a last minute thought to bring for Gwen. It's a good thing we did though, because it was too warm to be holding her all of the time. Our body heat would really radiate to her.


"Here's looking at you kid"

Gwen was talking to Adam. This is catching her in her favorite act right now. ....babbling. She's a chatter box for sure. The rings go with us everywhere. She's reaching for them and putting them in her mouth now. When they are pulled too tightly from where ever it is that they are hanging and she can't get them in her mouth, she gets frustrated and makes a noise. It's cute and we actually know what she wants. It's getting really fun to interact with her.

Adam took these scenic pictures in the morning. The colors were vivid and crisp. This was the first time we used this tent which was a wedding gift or even went camping together as a matter of fact. It's about time. Don't you think?



This one was pictured in the evening after we set up camp. It looks down on the valley where Alamogordo is located.
