We drove down to Carlsbad Caverns on Thrusday afternoon and went in the caverns on Friday morning - they were amazing. Ryan was very excited about going down to the caverns - it was amazing. This is the whole group - minus me- at the mouth of the caverns. We walked down 750 feet (about 1.2 miles down into the earth) and then about a mile on the path once we got to the bottom. My girls were all a little nervous going down because it was dark and very steep at times, but did great once we were in a little ways.

After we were back outside eating our lunch in the back of the Smith's van. After we left the caverns we decided to drive down to El Paso, Texas and check out the border. It was kind of fun seeing another city we have never seen - We are always up for an adventure. The cavern trip added about 12 hours of driving to our trip - and I have to say it was well worth the drive!!
