New Mexico we made it

Today we left Oklahoma, and drove on into Texas. I personally enjoyed Texas, it was neat to see nothing for miles and miles and miles. I really wanted some cowboy boots from Texas, but Grandpa won't stop in the cities and really the only town we went through was the city of Amarillo, so I'll have to settle for New Mexcio cowboy boots. Which is probably exactly the same. The drive went pretty fast, we stopped at a lot of gift shops and started buying everyone presents.

We found the cars burried in the sad and stopped to check those out.
Some where in Texas was the largest cross in the western hemisphere.....
And in general it was just pretty..

Eventually we made it to New Mexico, which is a whole different landscape. Everything is red and brown, and they have symbols on all of their bidges and walls. The houses are so neat to. We saw some huge homes built into the side of a hill that were just beautiful.

Grandpa thought we would never make it here to Enchanted Trails Camp Ground. We did though. It's very sandy, and there is some crazy lightening going on in the distance. We're hoping we don't have a repeat of Illinois.


The girls are settling in the watch a movie, and Grammy and Grandpa are going to sleep.

So yea, we're finally here!

Glad you made it!!
My God, there were three days of no blogging, and you had me worried. I thought maybe there was a fireworks accident or something.
Nice post with the video. You're turning into some kind of storm chaser. Hey, you guys should watch the movie Twister while you're down there!!
