Colin and Anna went home yesterday as did Emily. I have so much material because we were pretty busy while all the company was here. Tennis, movies, hiking, White Sands (terrific day!) shopping in the village, Peter Piper, drawing, cracking stones and, on the last full day here, horse riding in Ruidoso.
Unfortunately I am not on line in Cloudcroft at the cabin. I must come down to the Chamber of Commerce building where there is free WiFi. I do that almost every day and try to upload vids while here. It takes 38 minutes for a 1.5 minute vid to download and I have 29 vids ready to upload so you can see the difficulty.
However I do have some stills to share.....
This one needs no explaining.
Colin playing in gypsum..
Anna in Ruidoso...
This is the bear Anna was sitting on and Colin climbed on it instead of sitting for a snap..
These bears are $100 each...
Lots of trinkets and collectible junk...
The more junk the better ...
Emily and Anna through the window..
So pretty..
Colin looking for trouble, again..
Here is a video from the first day they were here...
Colin at the net...
Here the kids are pulling weeds...
YouTube is not cooperating....I have spent too much time trying to embed some more vids that are already uploaded. Can't seem to figure out how to get the embed code when I play the vids from my YouTube account. Oh well. maybe Emily will clue me in.....Next Day.....She did!
So here are some more:
And finally, the end of weed/grass pulling.

Well, we tried twice to go on the Switchback and OSHA trails but the weather was stormy and thunder and lightning scared us off.
hahaha Hey,those kids earned their money didn't they..the grass looks great Anna and Colin :) I'm saving a couple of the videos for later cos it's nearly time to eat...Anna is so pretty closer up isn't she and please tell me what was she doing with Bev? my sound on your vids lately,Eric, have not been loud enough for me to hear and I'm turned right up 100% anyway good job I can lip read..:)xx
Just in case my postings have not reached you..I just have to tell you of the pleasure I get from them..seeing the Children growing up this way is fantastic,Eric, in fact it's better than going to the picture house (if we had one)
