Carlsbad & White Sands
This weekend Matt and I went to Carlsbad Caverns and White Sands (Dunes and Missile Museum). It was part of our "check out our new state" mission.







***CARLSBAD CAVERNS***
The caverns were awesome!! We took the natural entrance, which was "strenuous" according to the guides. It really wasn't too steep, but it was strenuous on the nostrils. BAT POOP galore!! AND it was pretty dark. At one point they left the trail unlit and we heard, "click click click," coming from the dark corners. This was the exact point that the park rangers decided to post a sign about all the wildlife that lives in the caves (snakes, bugs, bats, etc.). Thanks a lot, rangers. Turns out the clicking was water dropping. Not just regular water, but acidic water. TIP: Do NOT look up in the cave. Acid water dropped DIRECTLY into my open eye. Don't worry, folks, I'm not blind...yet.

***WHITE SANDS***
White Sands is 1,000x's cooler than what these pictures show. It is GORGEOUS!
BTW, the missile museum is not worth the hour round trip drive from Alamogordo!

Abuelos, Les Mis, Puppy Dog Bowl, and Aliens
Just looking at her, no one would believe that Melissa could order and finish the Grande Combo from Abuelos. Following is proof that I do not lie!!

After dinner we went to see Les Mis (my favorite!) with Dean and his friends.

On Sunday, Matt and I decided to drive over to Roswell to investigate the UFO Museum. It's been on my list of things to do while living in NM for awhile, so we finally did it. Let's just say it was a one-time deal! HAHA. Most of the "affidavits" were collected in 1996 and the sighting was in 1947....???? It was a LOT of reading and no physical evidence to look at. Oh well!!!

In other eating news, here is a picture to prove that I am not lying about Molly's eating habits either!! She eats exactly half of her bowl of food in the morning and saves the other half for the afternoon! SO HILARIOUS. She eats a perfect little line down the middle. Cute pup!

Wii Bowling...
This Christmas there was a new ornament on the Kilgore tree. Here's my dad posing by his Wii Mii ornament and proclaiming victory over all family members in Wii bowling...

Matt took this as a personal challenge and has been practicing bowling during every commercial, etc. Here is his response...
