We left Phoenix around 3pm with Keely in rare form. If you haven’t met Keely in person, you are likely missing out on the facial expressions and vocal expression this kid has. She’s ridiculous! Anyway, after playing with Silly Putty for awhile, she was excited to watch a movie. In went Madagascar. You know those times when you say a word, it rolls around in your head and you keep saying it until it’s odd? Yep. K was stuck on the word Madagascar. She then decided the best way to say it was with her expression. “Mad” (she made a mad face) “uh” (she looked confused) “gas”(she made a farting noise) “car” (pointed to the car) Well, that’s one way to remember it.

New Mexico greeted us with the.most amazing rainbow I’ve ever seen. It was a complete double rainbow. The pictures do not do it justice.

We were lucky enough to have a friend whose parents live in El Paso, our stopping point for the night. Jen’s mom was amazing! We had a warm home cooked meal for dinner, a comfy bed to sleep in and an awesome breakfast complete with homemade tortillas. Add in some great conversation and amazing artwork to admire; the hospitality was wonderful.

Now we tackle the state of Texas.
