We did spend one day of spring break at Explora Museum, which we love (after all, we are members). Both my sisters, my niece Cathy and my nephew, Baby Daniel, also went with us. We first had a picnic at the park, where the kids rode their scooters around the park. From there we went to Explora and spent the day just playing around.
Here is a picture of me and Baby Daniel as he is amazed by the exhibit. I give his mom a hard time that she does not take him out to places like this and that he is visibly in such awe looking at the exhibit.
The last weekend of spring break we headed to Jal for my father-in-laws 60th birthday (see next post). On the way down to Jal (a 6 hour drive), we stopped in Roswell and went to the UFO Museum. As many times as we have driven through Roswell (over 13 years now), we have never visited the UFO Museum. You know, I don't believe in UFO's where as Henry does. He also has our kiddos believing in UFO's. Well, after visiting the museum, and seeing (or shall I say reading) all the "evidence", it sure puts some doubts/questions in your mind.
Wow, an aerial view of the crash site.
Oh wait, it's just a model.
In Jal we spent time with Henry's parents, his brothers, Travis (and his family) and Sam, Grandmama, Aunt Irene, and Aunt Carol. I love going to Jal because it is so tiny and their is nothing to do there that you are forced to slow down. A few of us walked (or scootered) to Jal Lake and fed the ducks. We walked to the Allsups a couple times for treats. We barbecued and roasted marshmallows. It was a nice, slow time with family.
