Cadillac Ranch

We stopped off in Amarillo on the way to New Mexico and wanted to take pictures at Cadillac Ranch but it was wet from raining so we stopped on the way back. An artist placed these old Cadillac's in a field and people can spray paint freely on the cars. You don’t see something like this often so I thought what a great photo opportunity. The kids were a little upset with us because we wouldn’t let them paint but we were headed home and we didn’t want them to get paint all over their clothes. I know, mean parents but we were on a mission.

Feeding The Deer

The deer around here will come right up to you and eat right out of your hands. You have to see it to believe it. So, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show. I was a little nervous at first because there were so many deer. At one point, I counted them and there were 17 deer all around us. Amazing, is all I can say. The kids were not even afraid. I think I was more afraid than they were. If you moved too fast they would get startled but other than that were very gentle creatures. Clay and Presley were into it more than Brooke and Josh. The deer would even try to take the cheerios right out of the cup. If you run out of food you just hold your hand up and they understood and would move on to someone else. Presley and Clay were so sweet, they shared their food with the other children. It was precious to watch the children interact with these wild animals and the excitement was definitely seen. I know it is a lot of pictures but It was so amazing I couldn’t stop clicking.

Sledding

We had two small hills in the yard and the kids found two sleds in the house and so the sledding began. They would sled every night when we came home. We thought they would be exhausted after skiing all day and go to bed early. Well, wishful thinking on our part. They loved the sledding especially Presley, she would ask if she could sled on the way back to the house. The energy they have just absolutely amazes me.
