So for months I have been looking forward to getting the camper out of the garage and into the wilderness. Seeing how Memorial weekend would give us the extra day we headed out on Saturday morning to explore New Mexico. We headed East on I-40 to Santa Rosa State Park (and lake).
By the time we actually got there it was probably around 2 in the afternoon; and the place was packed! We thought we would be able to camp on the beach...there was no accessible beach. The "beach" we were told over the phone that we could camp at, was actually rock cliffs. Not to mention it was filled with partiers. So we had to camp a few miles from the lake in a more remote camp ground, but it all worked out.
The kids had a blast! Levi had a few "accidents" of falling in the chaos but the poor little guy was fine without even a scrape or a bruise. After getting all situated the whole family (including Gus) went down to the lake. Gus was LOVING to FINALLY have the opportunity to go for a swim and Lucas was just as excited to see it.
After an extremely rough night with Levi having a super hard time sleeping and me panicking that it was still too cold we decided to head home on Sunday. We packed things up in the morning and decided to head into Santa Rosa to see a few things.
This was the Blue Hole. It's in all the New Mexico travel guides so we had to check it out. It would probably be neat for diving, but was WAY too cold for swimming in my opinion.
In other news....Summer is finally here! Which at my house means way too many otter pops...
