OK....so this is seriously my first time to sleep in a TENT!

Well you guys, we made it to our first destination!!! Carlsbad, New Mexico! We had WONDERFUL Mexican food this afternoon, and checked in to our NOT-SO-POSH camping site...and I was even excited to see it after 2 days of driving about 8 or so hours per day! The camp/RV park looks like something out of a scary movie, but comforting in a way...if that makes any sense??? It does have WIFI and an indoor pool strangely enough! After checking in to our camp site, we headed out to Carlsbad Caverns to watch the flight of the bats. This is when all of the bats staying in the cavern come out at dusk to find a tasty meal. WOW, what a site it was! They literally swarmed out by the hundred thousands! Natty had a meltdown due to lack of sleep, and Anne was such the trooper! After watching the bat flight, we headed "home" to the tent for the night! We played on the tire swings (ABSOLUTELY A BLAST FOR THE BIG KIDS!). Then showers and off to the tent, which is where we sit at this moment. After jokingly referring to assumed lack of internet access, I just so happened to hit a WIFI network! WOOOHOOO! By the way, THIS IS MY FIRST OVERNIGHT STAY IN A TENT!!!! And, I am completely loving this adventure thus far! My patience is abundant, and my excitement is running high! We did get some great pics today, and I will try to upload them tomorrow hopefully! Tomorrow we are off to the caverns, down deep in the earth! We are thrilled! Anne and Natty have been AMAZING through the travels, so pray that they continue to cope with all the traveling and business of the days!!! WE MISS YOU ALL!!!
