The Lake

So Brandon had to go to Elephant Butte for work and we just decided about a week ago that we would go with him. I didn't plan very well and I packed the morning we left. It actually didn't turn into the disaster I feared it would. The babies did amazing the first day. It took us about three hours to get there and the babies pretty much played and laughed the whole time, I was hoping they would fall asleep, but no such luck. So we got there unloaded into our "suite" (just a little bigger than a normal room with an extra coach), and then we went to get a bite to eat. The hotel had a swimming pool and hot tub so we were planning on checking it out after we ate, but the babies had a different plan. We got back to the room and the melt downs begin. Cheyenne started it and she was not going to be out done by Savannah or Brody. Brandon had gone to the golf course to drop of the trailor so it was just me and Tiada (yah I wasn't trying that by myself and THANK YOU Auntie Tiada for going with us), we made them some bottles but that wasn't what they wanted. So I held Cheyenne and Tiada tried to juggle Savannah and Brody and I was just waiting for the someone to knock on the door and tell us we had to go, lol...





Well after they finally went to sleep and had some rest the next day was a little better. We went out to the golf course for about an hour and Brody would not let anyone hold him. He was gonna walk and that was that. The girls did pretty good too, but they didn't really have anywhere to just hang out so we didn't stay very long. We went back to the hotel to have a nap and get ready to go out to the lake. Again they didn't sleep because they are in pack n plays and in a weird place so I thought we were destine for fussy babies on the boat. They actually weren't too bad. We rented a boat and finally got on the lake at 2:30pm and we had 3 hours of fun ahead of us. Well that was true for Brody and Savannah, but Cheyenne DID NOT like the boat, the body glove she had to wear, or the sun in her face. We keep going on though hoping that she would finally calm down and realize that she loves water and this is just one big bath tub. Well that didn't work either. We finally stopped in a cove and let the babies get out and play in the sand and they seemed to like it after they figured out that it wasn't going to hurt them. Savannah ate lots of mud and Brody walked and swam and just had a good o' time. Cheyenne even started having fun a few minutes before we got back on the boat.





They were so tired when we got back to the truck. Savannah barely made it to her car seat before she passed out and Cheyenne and Brody weren't too far behind. So we had a pretty good day and they sleep great last night. We got up this morning loaded the truck back up, it took my suburban and Brandons long bed chevy, and headed back to Albuquerque. It was a lot of work, but we had a blast doing something different. I probably couldn't have done it without my wonderful sister in law Tiada, Love you!!!!
