And we were so captivated {and laughing} at Layla's exclamation, "Look! More snow!" that we missed our turn off, right outside of Cloudcroft, to head to Carrizozo, my parents quaint lil town.
Instead we were enjoying the scenery and we happened upon this cute lil place.
They had a cute farmers market, petting zoo and fun head cut outs for prime photo taking!
Say hello to my parentals!
Now you know where I get all my silliness from! Ha. This is priceless to me. If you knew my dad, you would understand a lil more. But, ahhhh!!! I think I need to blow this up to an 8x10.
That is Dolly. Not really, but she looks like one. If she is a girl. I don't know? Layla sure liked her though.
I think she even took on a resemblance while we were there. Ha!
I know, I am a nerd. In case the above is not proof enough...see below.
Told ya so. But, in case you still don't believe it...here is more proof.
I could have cropped out my mom's butt....but, why?! I love you too mom. Kisses and hugs.
Okay. I am sure you all get it by now. NERDY!!! I am pretty sure I had too much fun with these.
And Layla was trying too hard here.
Trying too hard just for mommy? Perhaps. Love her.
So, if you are ever out near Hope, NM...be sure to stop by and say HI!
We left there with some apple cider in hand {not a fan} and Layla talked MiMi into buying her a...
{one of those}
It wasn't until we packed up in the car and were still headed in the wrong {gorgeous} direction...
...that my parents realized...
Dad: Does this look familiar to you, Sue?
Mom: Not really?!
Me: Oooo, ahhhh....**snap snap** Yeah, the land has really changed. From mountains...to almost like...prairies. It's gorgeous...
Dad: Yeah, I don't think this is right.
Mom: {Pulling out the NM map}
Me: Woooooow!!!!! So pretty.
Mom: Oh no! Yeah, this isn't right. We are almost to Artesia!!!
Dad: What?! {turning the car around, not smiling}
Mom: Yep. We are about 45 miles past where we should have turned off! {laughing}
Me: Oops...oh well! We'll just say that we are taking the scenic route!
So we made it back to Cloudcroft in time for dinner. Who cares that they picked us up from El Paso at 3? Who cares that it should have only taken us 2 hours to get to Carrizozo? Not me. It's called truly living life!
Who cares that we almost hit an elk making our way through the Muscelero Mountains on the way back to Carrizozo after dinner in Cloudcroft? Um, I do! I care a lot.
I cared so much that I would have actually drank one of those. A Budweiser! The last picture I snapped in Cloudcroft, NM. It seems fitting, no?!
