Carlsbad, New Mexico

So as I said last week, we went on a little trip to Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico.  It is just a short 2.5 hour drive from Lubbock so we headed out.

Lilly was great on the drive even taking an hour long nap. A new friend in our ward is from Carlsbad and told us her parents had an empty house on their ranch that we could stay at. So we did. After stopping by the house and dropping off our stuff we headed out to explore and ended up at a playground.

Lilly trying to be just like her daddy.

Checking out the Pecos River.

Throwing rocks in the river.

Watching the squirrels running around.

And probably Lilly's favorite part of the trip... the horse ride toy. (well, other than seeing the real horses and cows and dogs on the ranch... so this was probably her 2nd favorite.. oh well)

Our friend's mom brought this over for Lilly to play with and she LOVED it. I believe she is neighing in this picture below.

And here is a little video of her on the horse. She loved it.

Next up, Carlsbad Caverns.

p.s. Happy 21 months to our baby girl today. Can't believe in only 3 months she will be 2!
