We were so blessed this year to be given a home to stay in for a week in Taos, New Mexico. A 14 hour car drive and the girls were amazing( with handheld leapsters and DVD players). The weather was beautiful and we spent the week relaxing, hiking, mountain biking, eating, sitting in the jacuzzi, enjoying time with my parents, and ok....playing the new Wii Jadyn got as an early birthday gift.
I loved being in a city where everyone was so relaxed...the girls made friends and everyone just played with very little attention to material things....How nice to avoid cell phones and computers. It makes you realize that all the things that seem important as we rush around everyday at home are not really "so" important. What is important is spending time with each other. The girls said their favorite thing they did was to go "hunting", but they meant hiking :) For kids who usually want to be held, they hiked several days 3-4 miles each time and WANTED to walk by themselves.
