Busy Summer

I have been on summer break one week and it seems like we have done a lot of activities. We went camping at Bonita Park (see earlier post), we have gone to an Isotopes game, the zoo and Henry and I had a date night and went to the No Doubt concert. Since I am new to having a blog, I have not been smart enough to take my camera to these events. My sister took pictures at the zoo and my friend took pictures at the concert and both promised to email them to me. So, I am at their mercy.

However, we are going to the circus tomorrow and I promise I will take pictures.

Grace Church Getaway Camp Part II

Like Ally, I also went on the Zip Line. Climbing the ladder was tiring and jumping off the ledge was very scary. But, the ride down was exhilarating.

All of us also tried Archery for the first time. Ryan was a natural at it.

Henry, Ally and I also tried the rock climbing wall. I got all the way to the top!

Sorry - I have not figured out how to rotate the pictures yet.

And last, but not least, here is a picture of Ally and Ryan getting ready for bed in the pop-up.

Grace Church Getaway Camp Part I

We spent the weekend at the Grace Church Getaway Camp at Bonita Lake in Ruidoso. This was the first time we ever participated in this camp. We are definitely going back. We took our pop-up, which we purchased just a month ago, on its maiden voyage. The entire weekend was so much fun. There were a lot of firsts for all of us on this trip.

Here is Ally preparing to climb a 20 story tower to go down the zip line. She surprised us all when she started climbing the tower.

Once she reached the top she jumped off the tower and zipped down. Here she is at the bottom of the zip line.

Ally - you rock!

Hello World of Blogging

Well, I have finally arrived. I have finally fallen to the temptation of blogging. I have been following a few blogs (my husband calls them my "imaginary friends') for a couple years now. Since I am not a big MySpace nor Facebook fan, I feel that keeping a blog is the best avenue for me to share my life with friends and family. So, here are the Monroy's. I must say thanks to Michelle for introducing me to blogging and all my imaginary friends for allowing me to read up on their lives. Welcome to my life.
