We went to Cloudcroft last weekend with my family on a mini Labor Day vacay! Cade and I drove down with my parents, brother Seth, and his girlfriend Julie on Friday and then Gregg flew to Lubbock Saturday and drove down. The weekend away was much needed with all the stress I have been under at work recently. I loved spending time with my family relaxing in the beautiful mountains.
All ready for the road trip
Some of my parents friends have a cabin on the edge of the National Forrest where we stayed. We did a lot of lounging, some extra napping, played some Yahtzee and Wii, did a little shopping and cooked/ ate some really good food! My parents both love to cook and try new things so we cooked several new recipes out of The Pioneer Woman cookbook that we don't normally eat. We had cinnamon rolls and a yummy breakfast scramble dish in the mornings and a steak with whiskey sauce one evening out of the cookbook.

We left everyone late Sunday morning and headed back to Lubbock to see Gregg's family. (They all went to Ruidoso to the Horse Races for the day and then drove around Monday looking for a cabin we could buy in the area before heading home Tuesday.)
We stopped by my grandparents house when we first got to town to see Grampy and Grammy. My Grampy fell in the pasture about 3 weeks ago and broke the bone above his knee. He had surgery and has been in a rehab facility for a couple of weeks. It was so great to see him at home and getting around. He is in a wheel chair right now and has a long road to recovery ahead of him but we are so thankful that he wasn't hurt any worse than he was.
After that we went to Gregg's sister, Misti, house where we changed clothes and met up with the whole family before heading out to eat supper. We went back to Cody and Misti's house after dinner to hang out and let the boys play. It was so much fun to watch Cade and Landry play this time. They are getting old enough finally to interact and play some. Cade is still a little timid but is getting better.

We went back to Gregg's parents house Sunday night and then came back to Dallas Monday afternoon. We had such a great time over the weekend and enjoyed every minute of the time that we had with our families. Our time in the mountains was amazing and a nice change of pace (and weather) from home! I can't wait to get to go back again!!!
