Blessing

The kids and I just had to get out and enjoy the nice weather before it turned cold. We went to Durango last weekend for a picnic and found all sorts of cool places!

For some odd reason, Devin kept wanting to leave. He said that the house was giving him the creeps! I couldn't imagine why?!

Where did the red and white go?

These are the new school colors. They are lovely colors, that make me feel like it should be Halloween all year! At least we still have a paw print!

This is how it's done, New Mexico style!!!

Pay close attention to the right front tire area.

The kids and I couldn't believe what we were seeing. They kept whisper, yelling at me to hurry and take a picture! Then when I did, they urgently pressed me to hurry and drive away before anyone saw me taking pictures. Then once safely away, they begged me to do another drive by!!!

This is what a sudden fierce rain storm looks like in the dry land of New Mexico! The first picture of the stream is not a stream at all. It's a dry wash just for times like these. I pulled over to watch this awe inspiring force of nature.
I took these pictures a little less than 5 minutes after it had started raining!!!
There was so much water on the road that the cars coming around the corner in front of us were sliding all over the place. It was very scary to see a pick up truck and camper hydroplaning right towards you! Luckily all vehicles managed to stay on the road and no one was hurt.
