We tried to get a early start this morning , but it never seems to work. We did manage to head out at a decent time. We drove straight to Carlsbad, New Mexico.


The kids once again got their Junior Ranger badges, making them a Junior Ranger 5 times over so far! We ate a BBQ chicken dinner in the RV and walked back down to see the bats fly. Right now their are

a couple thousand bats. However, at the end of July they have counted 1.8 million! The ranger said that so many bats fl

y out of the cave that you can't even see the the cave (It is just black with bats).
Tip of the day: Don't forget sunscreen! Yesterday my old age got to
me and I really thought I had sun-screened Peyton (I started to but he had sand all over him so I told him to rinse off. I sun-screened the other boys and Pey snuck off and somehow I got distracted and forgot him). What a huge mistake!!! He is in so much pain today and I feel horrible! I definitely learned my lesson (so did Peyton who now doesn't hate sunscreen). Next time I will be sure that the boys are double sun screened.

New update: Sterling was playing catch with Dave and we think he dislocated his pinkie. It looked tweaked so Dave decided he would pull it back into place. I used distraction and Dave Pulled. Sterling went through the roof :( He is soooo tough and I know that hurt sooo bad. We splinted it and are praying it is ok.
Also we are so happy to get all your comments! New people are signing on and commenting every day! Thank you so much! We miss you all so much and hearing from you

all makes us feel great! If you have any suggestions of where we should go next please let us know! We are heading East from Carlsbad towards Dallas.

Hi Everyone! It is Sunday morning and I am up early (Pop is still sleeping) and I couldn't wait to read the next blog........Wow, Carlsbad Caverns - I went there when I was 4 years old and we were on the road to Mexico and trying to stay away from the immigration authorities and the newspaper reporters (interesting family history for those who don't know!!)
So now you guys are headed for Dallas....don't know where you are going after that but keep in mind that you are near "tornado alley" so watch the weather reports! Yesterday there was a tornado near the Oklahoma property and it took out several houses the next valley over then hit Tulsa and headed to Memphis and also killed several people..............
Happy Mothers Day to Cindi!
Love and miss you guys!! Dede
Hello you guys. Glad to hear that you didn't get a speeding ticket just a warning. Driving on those roads where you hit a town & have to slow down to 25 mph is a pain.
How is life in the RV? Does everyone have their own little space to go to when they need to? It sounds like you are having a terrific time and learning so much about the different states. Knowing you are having a blast, makes it easier when I start missing you dropping by after church, or coming over to swim.
Cindi, just wanted to wish you a Happy Mothers Day. Hope you boys are doing something special for that wonderful mother of yours!
Love & miss you guys,
Betsy
