Visiting New Mexico

As a family, we haven't taken many family vacations. But, we wanted to go somewhere this year. Jordan has a good friend that lives in Texas and we decided that it would be fun to do something together as the two families. We decided to meet in New Mexico where Kevin (Jordan's friend) grew up. There was a lot of out door stuff and activities to do which all the boys would enjoy.

One afternoon, we took everyone out to go shooting. We had a ton of guns and targets and everyone went crazy. Here are some pictures of the activity.

Lucas taking some shots and actually hit some of the targets.

Danny (one of Kevin's girls) taking some shots.

Mason and Breanne (Kevin's sister) watching everyone shooting. I love those neon earplugs in Mason's ear.

This was the highlight of Jordan's year. Nothing can make Jordan happier than when he has a gun in his hand.

Trying to hit a target. I tried several times but I didn't hit one thing.

Dylan concentrating on the target.

Dylan spent a lot of time picking up ammo shells. He was excited about how many shells he could pick up.

Kristi (Kevin's wife) taking some shots.

One of the other activities we did on vacation was buy sling shots and have the boys go hit some things. They got pretty good and had a ton of fun.


Here is the Peterson family.

Jordan getting serious about his sling shot. One of the fond memories that Jordan has as a boy was getting a sling shot on a vacation and using it the whole time. It really took him back and made him happy.

One of the other things we did was stop at a little outdoor museum. Here is a jeep that was made out of license plates. Jordan thought this was cool.

Overall, we had a good time in New Mexico and enjoyed ourselves.
