Thursday morning Mom, Granny, PaPa, Maegen and Rhaeden left Post for Ruidoso, New Mexico. They met up with Whit and LaShae in Brownfield. I had to work Thursday so when I got off of work I left around 6pm. Mike was suppose to go with me..but..he had alfalfa on the ground that needed to be baled. He had cut it down the week prior in hopes that he would be finished by Tuesday but it got rained on which made him post-pone the baling for it dry out again. Wednesday night he got about 4 hours of sleep and then Thursday night he baled all night long !! Got finished about 4:30 am ran home laid down for about an hour, made sure D'Nae was up for work and went back to pick all the hay up out of the field. Dad, D'Nae and Mike drove to Ruidoso Friday night after everyone got off of work.
Friday: Mom, LaShae, Whit, Rhaeden, Maegen and myself went shopping. We ate lunch and then headed to play putt-putt golf. Rhaeden and Maegen played everyones ball !! It was fun just watching them run around and stop balls from going in or "helping" them to go in whichever the case may be. Needless to say we didn't keep score. After that it was off to the go-carts. LaShae and Maegen rode in a double, Whit and Rhaeden were both in singles. Mom and I watched and sat in the shade. It was fun watching the girls lap the boys (in their defense...LaShae and Maegen had nearly completed one lap before the boys even got started)..but we didn't give them credit for that. The girls just won !! Can you guess what came next ???? Your right...the BUMPER BOATS !! Whit hadn't ever done them so it was gang up and initiate him properly. Mom and I got to sit and watch again. I still believe we came out the best !!! They were completely soaked !!! After that it was time to head to the cabin so they could all take a shower and get the chlorine off of them. (here is where I should post pictures but do not currently have them. Check back later.) The rest of the evening we just laid around, played pool, cards, and Farkel. Very relaxing !!!
Saturday we went to the horse races. Granny and PaPa stayed at the cabin and just rested and relaxed. I think they really enjoyed the porch swing and watching the deer in the yard. After the races we went to the cabin cooked steaks, baked potatoes, green beans, asparagus and stuffed jalapenos. It was delicious !!! After we let our meal settle..Whit, LaShae, Mom, Mike and I went to the Casino. I think we all enjoyed the casino tremendously.
Sunday morning it was time to get up, get packed and get loaded. Dad, Granny and PaPa came on back to Post after stopping at a fruit stand. Mom and Rhaeden were together in Granny's car. Whit and LaShae in their pick-up. The girls were with Mike and I. We all met at a flea market type event and walked around but didn't see anything very interesting. Next Whit, LaShae, Mom, Rhaeden and D'Nae went to eat Pasta. Mike, Maegen, and I passed and we ate smothered steak, homemade chicken fried steak (hand breaded and everything..it was really good) french fries, green beans, salad and bread. I think we came out with the better deal. After we finished eating we met back up with them and got D'Nae and said our good-byes. They went one way shopping and we went the other way. It was very interesting to note that on our way out of town we stopped at a fruit stand to get me some cherry cider and we run into the four of them so we follow each other back home.
We arrived home around 8:15pm and then it was time to start some laundry !! YUCK !!!
Just a quick note....D'Nae has gone to pick up the latest addition to our family. She is getting a miniature Australian Shepherd. D'Nae has already named her and everything. Hopefully this week I can get pictures put up of Gemma.
