Ruidoso Trip

We had a Monday off this month so we decided to go somewhere.  We actually gave the kids a choice...Six Flags or Ruidoso.  They picked Ruidoso!!!!! (Boy were we relieved!)

 We went to the Cowboy Symposium when we got there.  There wasn't much to see but Boo was happy....she got to ride a horse!  They also got cream sodas in take home mugs.

 We saw a blacksmith and a mountain man that was staying in this teepee!  

 Our cabin was really nice!  Here the kids are in the chairs on the front porch.

 I made them pose for me so I could get the mountains in the background. :)

 We even had our own hot tub!

 Reagyn kept saying all she wanted to do was drink hot chocolate in the mountains.  Check :)

 There was a loft with 2 twin mattresses that the kids slept in.  There was a ladder going up to it.  They thought that was super cool

 The kids wanted to hike.  Most of the Lincoln National Forest was closed due to the government shutdown but we did manage to find a fitness trail to walk on.  Karson said wasn't REAL hiking because there was a paved road to walk on.  Oh well...we had a nice walk anyways.

 We went to drive go carts

 and played miniature golf too.

 Lanny drove us up to a lookout point on the mountain.  Well, we didn't make it all the way...the lookout was also closed due to the government shutdown.  We got to go almost all the way, but not quite.  The view was pretty to see from so high.  I got some really good pics too.

We had a fun and relaxing time.  They informed me that next time we will be going to Six Flags! :)
