Kent and I flew to El Paso over Veteran's day weekend to visit the Texas Carsons.
Some cuddle time in the back yard.
Lo and behold, the next morning father and son discovered they had accidentally worn matching outfits!
That day we went to Andrew's school to eat lunch with him.
It was fun to see Andrew's cafeteria and school. Tyler checked Andrew out of school after lunch and we drove to New Mexico. (Tyler changed his shirt so he didn't match his dad.)
White Sands is a national park not too far from where the Carsons live in El Paso.
It was amazing to be driving along a normal landscape and then to see hills of white sands rising off in the distance.
The twins had fun playing in the sand.
Rachel had borrowed some sledding discs to slide down the hills.
It was a little bit chilly, which is why the twins are wearing their knit hats.
I thought this picture of the waves in the sand from the wind was really cool.
Everyone took turns going down the hills. 14-month-old Christian even went down by himself once!!
The best family picture I could get----
On our way home we stopped at the White Sands Missile museum.
It was a bit pricey to go inside so we just walked around all the interesting things outside the museum.
Then we stopped at IHOP for dinner. It was a really fun day!
Sylvia and Andrew really like to help Mommy in the kitchen.
Family pictures before church. You can see that Sylvia decided she didn't want her picture taken.
On Monday we went to Los Cruces, New Mexico
There was a fun gazebo in the old town square.
We had lunch at a famous Mexican restaurant, called La Posta de Mesilla. It's in a historic building that was a stop on the stage coach line back in the 1800's.
The decor inside was very colorful. They'd already put up their Christmas decorations, so we took some pictures by the Holy Family.
Some last pictures of the kids playing on the automated rides.
Christian especially thought it was fun to sit in them and turn the steering wheels.
As usual, it was awesome spending time with Tyler and Rachel and the kids in El Paso!
We arrived in the early afternoon, so one of the first things we did was to walk to Andrew's school to pick him up from school.
