Chama

We hadn't been home since Christmas so we decided since Labor Day was a long weekend we'd make a weekend trip and go visit the family. We left Thursday night and didn't arrive until 2:30 am. I drove the last leg and Tanner said every time he'd wake up and look over at me I looked like a crazy woman with my eyes wide open squeezing the steering wheel. What can I say I was tired and I was trying to spot deer that might jump out in front of us.

Friday we followed the train up Cumbres and put pennies on the track. 

We also ate at Fina's... I had to get my fix. 

In the evening we drove out to Brazos and fed the deer. 

They liked out bread and carrots but apparently they love potato chips.

While we were driving we saw a bear just crossing the road. 

We spent Saturday riding four wheelers and watching the BYU football game. 

Sunday we went to church. It was so nice to be back in our small branch. About 3pm the electricity went out so we headed over to Nana and Papa's for lunch. We ate our green chili chicken enchiladas and sopapillas in the dark. We spent the rest of the day relaxing outside and riding the four wheelers. About 7pm someone came to ask Papa if he could go cut a couple of trees that fell on the power lines. Papa, Tanner and Russ stayed out there until dark. We headed home to light some candles so we could have some light. Addi kept us entertained by telling us scary stories. About 10pm (just in time for bed) the electricity came back on. It was nice to be able to spend time together without the TV or other distractions. Monday we made the 8 hour trip home. It was nice to see everyone. I just wish we lived closer so we could be together more often.
