Second family trip year 1 was Rockport and this year we all made it to Ruidoso. Time with family worth every minute. Diane and I stayed 8 nights and the family came for 4 nights. We had a little bit of a set back upon arrival as Diane and I were sick and we found out Carolyn paced away on Tuesday, July 26. Tough few days adjusting to that.

We cooked a lot at home, got in the hot tub, walked Missy around the block and saw some elk. We did go putt putt golfing (and got rained on) and the others went to White Sands.

Missy’s ride :-).

Giant elk - saw this one around the hood almost every day.

And this doe once off our balcony.

Daily walk.
