Jal, NM

We went to the big ol' town of Jal, NM for Memorial Day weekend---to visit 2 sets of great-grandparents. It is so nice that both sets of Josh's grandparents live in the same town--and the kids LOVE visiting! It's so nice to go to a slower pace of life, and sit out in their backyards enjoying the weather, the birds, the kids playing.....it always seems so peaceful there.
Here are a few of the fun things we did while there:
played with marbles
Blew bubbles:Played catch:Played the marble game with Nana (in this pic, but also played with Kay kay!)


Fed the ducks at the pond, and played at the park:Had a great time with our "Great"-grandparents!!! Here are the kids with Pop pop and KK:And the kids with Nana and Dandy Don:We couldn't think of a better way to spend a weekend, we love going to Jal! Josh also was able to teach class and preach at church while we were there, and he loves the experience! It is such a blessing for him to preach in front of his grandparents--I know they're so proud!

Jal of all places. It's so small! What great memories you are making with your children. That's great that Josh was able to preach too. Glad you had a great trip!
