Brittany and I had our first girls trip, and we had so much fun! We went to Albuquerque for the weekend to visit my sister and her family. My parents drove from Kansas City to be there that same weekend, so we were doubly lucky! Brittany was so excited to see everyone. The three girl cousins were so cute and happy together. We had an awesome weekend! We celebrated Pop-Pop's birthday on Saturday, and Kelley made an awesome german chocolate cake from scratch. Yum! We went on a hike by the Rio Grande, grilled out, and just enjoyed all being together. Now, I must share my favorite memory. Sunday night we decided to make Smores for dessert. Frank made a fire and the kids were so excited (Zoe had literally been talking about chocolate marshmallows all weekend). However, when we went to get the ingredients, the only thing Kelley could find was chocolate and a bag of marshmallows that was hard as a brick. Not wanting to disappoint the kids, we tried to roast the marshmallows anyway...turns out they don't plump when you cook them! So, Kelley got a bag of mini-marshmallows for us to roast. You should have seen us trying to skewer those! They broke in half the second you tried to push them down the stick. To add to the craziness, we had to use Honey Graham Life Cereal for the graham crackers. I wish we had taken a picture of our final product. It was a mess, and not very tasty, but we sure had fun putting it together!
