Capulin

It was supposed to be ladybug season, so I really wanted to go to Mount Capulin - a short drive from our house - this summer.  The kids were so, so excited to hike down a "real volcano!"  We had to remind some many times that no, it wouldn't explode while we were walking down.  

It turned out that the lady bugs were on the outer rim, so I suggested we go.  No one really wanted to. Except me.  So, I talked a few into it.

Then, things became too much for some, and well, they started whining, and then crying, and I looked down and saw these before I turned right back around in a hurry to get.outta.there.

Truly, I'm glad we took them, and they had fun.  For a short time, ha!
