The Living Desert Zoo and A Drive Home

 Day Three was our final day in New Mexico. We decided to go to the Living Desert Zoo in Carlsbad. It is basically a desert trail and a bunch of native animals. But it was really pretty and of course Lilly loved the animals.


Giant raven bird... I think.

Now where's that Wiley Coyote?

What?! We don't drink tea!

Lilly wanting to walk. Of course she wants to walk in a sea of cactus!

We also checked out a bear, cougar, wolves, elk, snakes, eagles, a bobcat and more.


Pretty view.

Checking out the Bison.


Picture with Lilly and the lily pads!

After checking out the zoo we started our trip back home. Back in Texas.



"Don't Mess With Texas!"

And of course some dust devils. It looks pretty small in the picture but it was actually pretty large just a little further away. We ended up seeing about 10 on our drive home. They were everywhere!

And of course some pictures of our Silly Lilly from the drive. 
This one is a smile, if you couldn't tell.

And of course we caved and allowed binky for the road trip. (This is actually a picture from the drive there and this binky now resides in the depths of Carlsbad Caverns... whoops. You can blame Lilly for that one. She felt walking through a dark cave was the best time to chuck her binky.)

"Cheese!"
And a binky in the toes.
