Matt's Birthday in Edgewood

For Matt's birthday and just to get away...we decided to take a trip with our friends the Johnsons and the Dobbs, to Edgewood. It is about an hour and a half from Rio Rancho. Doug Dobb's parents live there and so we all went to see what Edgwood was like. We camped out in "Grandpa & Grandma Dobb's" basement and had a great time trying to get 12 kids to sleep and still have some adult time playing games. With a bag of M&M's, a bag of licorice, and jelly beans...we were able to make it through another fun game of "And it Came to Pass." Miracles do happen, and we were able to fall asleep still laughing...thanks to Matt's snoring. What great times.

Josie and her obsession with water bottles. :)

Mason's Big Cheeze...Big Suprise! :)

Zander eating a piece of licorice...uh oh, Doug are you in trouble???

Doug's Dad has cut out a lot of trails on his property so we went on a little hike the next morning. We forgot to pack some water, so we were all a little parched by the time we got back.

This is the "mule" that Doug's Dad kept taking the kids for rides on. I think the kids were a little confused at first and were expecting some sort of animal.

This is the best "say cheese" we could get...


We had a great time and it was nice to get away for the weekend.
Happy Birthday Matt!!! :)
