It involved three weeks of higher humidity and lower altitude. On the plus side, we saved around $25K on hand lotion over the three weeks. As a wise man once said, everyone in New Mexico is one truckload of hand lotion away from heading to Colorado. This trip happened in the distant past (i.e. June and July). The author was also absent for most of it so detail will be at a premium.<br />

He claims that his eyes are so used to looking in space, that the fine font and color scheme we used was unreadable at best and un-American at worst! You are welcome in advance Uncle B - read on!<br />

My birthday started with a feast at the local Sonic food emporium on the Saturday prior! I am so special I got tots and fries. No need to choose, because unlike the first James Bond film, my dad became Dr. Yes!<br />

Since my dad was coaching and my mom was running the carnival the following pictures are those from her first practice, not her first game. Watch how my dad taught M to swing and then the end result! <br />

Then we went home and made a tin can phone. Our courteous conversations devolved to rude noises in a little less than fifteen seconds. The novelty of the rude noises through the tomato can phone did not wear off that day and is still awesome in my humble opinion...<br />

My dad ate a whole pizza for dinner and then we got to read Richard Scarry's Busy Busy World. It is quite possibly the best book ever written. It is 92 pages long and my dad has read it to us fifteen times in the past two weeks. Even SM loves it!<br />

You probably should since only seven two syllable words rhyme with Easter according to the Word Hippo. Dniester, of course, being one of them. As with all LOE holidays, Easter was spread out over a week this year since the next state-wide holiday isn't until JC's birthday in May. It started with the official White Rock Ward/Community Egg Hunt put on by my beautiful momma. The hunt overtook all of Rover Park which encompasses a full 10% of the land area of our town. Given the acreage of the hunt, my beautiful momma could only pick one kid to follow. She chose SM. JC was not surprised.<br />

Finally, the C Clan main base in NoVA is the ultimate eating place. Look all three food groups are omnipresent on the dining room table - Fudge Stripe Cookies, Girl Scout Samoas, and Bananas!<br />

My dad and I stuck around the LOE making sure it stayed enchanted while she, JC, and SM visited the EST. The first thing we did was to visit the Big Rock Bowling Center. It was my first experience at a real bowling alley. Here I am trying to catch a spare!<br />

It was President's day at 10 AM. We had the place to ourselves, which was a good thing - few people can project such disappointment in themselves during their first go-around with something like I can. I missed the spare and the shoe guy definitely heard about it!<br />

We spent the rest of the week reading Mary Poppins. Guess what! She was terribly grouchy in her literary version. Julie Andrews did some good work. On Saturday we went to hike Tsankawi. We got to use our free National Park Pass that was set to expire soon. Gram purchased it for us last year when she came to see her new grandbaby, SM. Now she's with SM, and we are hiking! Trees take a long time to grow here. This one we saw early in the hike is ten years old!<br />

We kept climbing higher and higher (Jackie Wilson reference). Soon we made it to the top of a mesa where the Tsankawi Pueblo had been. We could see more than seventy miles in all directions except to the west. It was wonderful. Here is M enjoying the view...<br />

Poor Chuck Norris - he is getting old, and a newer version of his TV show has hit the airwaves. It is low budget, so they used the same theme song, but included the soothing voice of my dad - listen closely near the end!<br />
