Camping in New Mexico








Camping in New Mexico was quite a treat. Let's just say that is was nothing that we were used to. We like going camping to get away from the people so we do not have to socialize. When you camp here at Cimarron State Park it is like camping in the city. When we first got there Daniel and found our campsite that we reserved online and were flabergasted with what we saw. Practically every ten feet was a campsite so you were camping right on top of people. Then the one we reserved just happened to make the major highway that was probably ten feet away. Hello, we have kids can I say Dangerous and no fun. So we spent the whole day trying to get a refund for our reserved sight and trying to find something a little more fitting. Luckily we found a campsite hours later, it was still very crowded but it was not next to the highway. Fred and Meili came with their kids and Grandma and Papa Clare and Jacob. Once we coped with the idea that we were going to have to socialize it turned out to be a nice week. The fishing was very good and Blake was quite the fisherman. Daniel couldn't believe how good he really was. We were able to see Elk and deer and even had a Bear visit the campground. It was beautiful country and great weather.

Looks like fun. Camping is supposed to be relaxing (aside from looking at dirty kids all day)....I'm glad that it all worked out okay. I hate being close to people unless they are camping with us!
Love the first picture of Blake. What a cute kid!

I totally remember camping with you guys in Beaver! We just watched a home video of that a while back...we were playing softball in the most beautiful meadow. I grew up camping there for a week every summer so have awesome fishing memories and of that cement "slide". That was fun. We also came with you to a Clare campout where we rode on a big swing and threw our Barbie's down the creek to watch them ride the rapids. One time my Barbie's head popped off after hitting a rock. Oops.
