NOW THAT U HEARD SOME, LET ME SHARE WHAT WE DID ON THE WAY HOME: MON. WE WENT 2 THE AZTEC INDIAN RUINS & 4 CORNERS. TUES. WE WENT 2 THE PETRIFIED FOREST. WED. WE WENT 2 CARLSBAD CAVERNS. ALL WAS SURPRISINGLY ACCESSIBLE, & W/ME, FREE! BAD THING IS, W/ME, EVERY1 SAW LESS-SO THEY WANT 2 GO BACK W/O ME. STILL, JESS WAS SUPER CONCERNED AT THE AZTEC INDIAN RUINS THAT I COULDN’T CLIMB THE LADDERS, SO IT WAS A HUGE RELIEF 2 HER 2 HEAR I WENT IN MY YOUTH!
AT THE AZTEC INDIAN RUINS, 2 GET THERE, MARK HAD 2 TAKE ME ON SOME SUPER STEEP HILLS (A WORKOUT 4 HIM, & SUPER SCARY 4 ME, BUT JESS & FIA WERE ON MY LAP & AS WE ROUNDED EACH CORNER & APPEARED WE’D GO OVER A CLIFF, I SAW LESS & HEARD JESS FREAK OUT 4 ME, SO I COULD BE BRAVER -BUT IT WAS SCARY & I WAS GLAD I TRUSTED MARK SO MUCH)!
SO HOW DO I CELEBRATE JULY 4TH? WELL, MY CHAIR & ME WEIGH 300 IBS., SO MARK EMPTIES A BOX OF POPS ON THE GROUND, & I TAKE SEVERAL SWIPES 2 ROLL OVER THEM, UNTIL ALL SEEM POPPED. THEN THE KIDS & I WATCHED THEIR PYRO UNCLE & DAD LIGHT AMAZING FIREWORKS (WE WERE EXPECTING A FEW, WHICH WAS AN UPGRADE FROM LAST YEAR–WHATEVER)!
Jenny, it sounds like you had a lot of fun and exciting times! I went to all of those places in my youth also, but I would sure like to see them again. It was really sweet of Jessie to be so concerned. Hope you’ve recovered from your near-misses!

Jenny –
I have visited these places more than once, having lived in Colorado for 17 years. How great that you got to share the experiences with your family. Even if they go back another time, I’ll bet the memory of this visit with you will be special.
Cathy
We just wanted to say hello and it looks like you are having way too much fun. We have never been to the ruins, but now we want to go. Take care
