Father's Day - Silver City

We went to Silver City this weekend to see David's dad for Father's Day. I thought I'd post some pictures and take you on a "tour" of our trip. :)

First stop: Deming, NM, Friday afternoon. We saw Uncle Waldo and Auntie Nae at their house.

Then we drove on to Silver City, where we went to dinner with Grandpa Waldo, Grandma Debbi, and Uncle Jeremy.

We stayed Friday night at Grandpa and Grandma's house. Zoe slept for 8 hours with no feedings (we had started her sleeping through the night earlier last week).
On Saturday, we drove out of Silver City to somewhere near Bill Evans Lake, where Uncle Brenten and Auntie Angel were camping. We had lunch there, and got our feet wet in the river (well, it was a chance for Zoe to wear her new swimsuit anyways). :) David went upriver a little ways and got a close up shot of a beautiful crane.



After we were done in the river, we ate some "Underground Cake" that Auntie Angel had made - literally underground! Uncle Brenten dug a hole, and filled it with charcoal from the fire, and covered the pot with dirt, and 45 minutes later, we had a delicious Betty Crocker chocolate cake. :) Yum!


We spent some more time visiting with family before heading out of Silver City back to Deming.


In Deming, we took Uncle Waldo and Auntie Nae to dinner at The Patio for their first anniversary. Dessert was a wonderful strawberry maltshake - YUMMY!

We drove home Saturday night, got home just before 1:00 Sunday morning. We stopped in T or C, and at the McDonald's, there was a huge tarantula that I begged David to get a picture of, so here is that one:

Zoe did great on her first road trip - here is a picture of her when we got home:
