To Camp Tall Pines again

Memorial weekend is a big holiday for Cole and I.  Two years ago Cole purposed to me on May 31.  It is a very special day for us.  So this year Cole got a 3 day weekend and we headed up to our favorite campsite in Mayhill, NM.  This time was so much fun.  Finn could walk around and play.  He had a blast. He loved being outside, the campfire and watching Dad chop firewood.  Cole and Finn are two peas in a pod.  It is so much fun to watch Finn chase after his Daddy.  We got a tent with a rain fly that has sun-lights.   It was amazing being able to fall asleep in our tent, but still able to see the stars.  In Mayhill you don't have cell reception so you are completely alone and together at the same time.  Cole and I needed to feel close again.  Our life is getting busy and we needed to get back to the basics.  It helped us unwind and rediscover why we chose to be a family.  On Sunday night our friends, Hailee, Derek and Carly, showed up and we went on a hike Monday in Cloudcroft.  It was so green and peaceful.  Finn's favorite place to be is in nature on his Daddy's shoulders.  Can't wait to get back up there.  During the summer they open up their activities!! They have a climbing wall and horse back riding, just to name a few.  It is going to be so much FUN!!
