Anna is mad here because I told her she had to slice the dutch baby herself.
Anna has been writing down our dutch baby recipe on the paper placemats at restaurants for a while. She is hoping that someone will see it and add it to their menu.... She just wanted to be able to order her very favorite food in a restaurant!
We spent a long time finding different shapes in the clouds.
Yay! We made it to New Mexico!
Sarah complained of having "car-seat bottom" when we got out of the car in Santa Fe.
The kids just thought it was hilarious that we ate at a restaurant called The Pantry.
Our awesome hotel: a song & dance performance was immediately necessary in the gorgeous weather on the deck.
The girls took the bed and Henry slept in his sleeping bag near the bed. I think the girls were actually jealous of him! Craig & I slept on the pull-out couch in the family room with the door to the porch open!
The kids really did a great job on the drive yesterday and today. We did make one random stop in the middle of Texas at The Most Disgusting/Scary Bathroom in the History of the World, however. I actually walked through a six-inch thick wall of cobwebs to get to the toilet! The kids were all super freaked-out about it and all bathrooms will look better after that one!
Santa Fe is so much smaller than we realized! There was nothing on the road near it and then suddenly we were there (not the urban sprawl of Houston). The weather is absolutely perfect and such a relief from the Texas heat that we hardly know what to do with ourselves!
I will take the kids into town tomorrow morning to explore while Craig gets a bike ride in. I didn't bring the stroller (on purpose) so Henry can get some good walking in, too. I'm curious to see how it goes.
