rattlesnake springs

New Mexico

As you can tell we went on another trip with my family. My parents, Sara, and Corey were all going to New Mexico for Memorial Day. To see some birds. My Mom and Dad decided to drag our poor behinds with them. We stopped at White Sands New Mexico on the way to Carlsbad. It was beautiful and 1 of the places I wanted to see before I die. Yea I know I have one of those lists. Anyway that was Lucas's favorite part. He loved sledding down the hill. It was fun as as you can tell we all had a good time. Grandpa was the only one not participating in the sledding part. But that's ok.
We also went to Carlsbad MN. Then we spent a whole day 30 mins out of town in a place called Rattlesnakes springs. Beautiful little spot in the middle of the desert. We saw a long list of birds. The kids had a good time playing and playing. It was a nice weekend.
