We left Thursday afternoon and spent the night in Amarillo. The next day we drove from Amarillo to Mogote, Colorado. We stopped in Taos for lunch and were met with a hailstorm. Mogote is the town where my Great Grandmother lived and we used to go and visit her every summer when I was little. The second picture is of her house. It has had an adobe wall put up in front of part of it. Every other year we have our family reunion in this area and this year it was at Conjeos Ranch. There are several cabins there that we rent and then on Saturday night we all get together in the lodge for dinner and country music playin'. I realize now, as an adult, that not all families get together for country music playin'. When I was little this was what we did every time we went to my Grandpa's house. I would sing with my sister and my cousins. We were called the Fabulous Four and every get together we would lock ourselves in a room practicing our singing and dancing for the show that would go on later that night. We did engage in a little singing at this reunion too. Let me assure you I am no great singer. That talent went to my sister, but I can provide some good backup if I am near a strong voice. I like singing country because you get to be real twangy and I think I secretly always wished I was a real cowgirl.

Looks like you had some good ol' family time! I like the pic of Sara and Kenzee...so cute!
That's funny.....I can think of a LOT of things I thought were normal when I was little that now I know was not normal at all. I love all of the pictures! Your grandma's house is just like I envisioned it. Cool.
