Carlsbad, New Mexico

I think Nolan may have spent too much time hanging out with his Grandma Telford at Bell Photographers. He was sitting on some rocks at the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens and I asked him to look at me so I could take his picture and this is what I got.

My mom's neighbor told us about Project Playground along the river and Nolan was in heaven. It was huge and had everything from a tire swing in a bat cave to a big castle filled with mazes and huge slides. Nolan dragged my mom and I around the playground for hours, 3 days in a row. I think in my 30 years I had never seen my mom go down a slide until last month. Nolan gave her a good workout. He even got grandpa to go down the big tube slide too.
Nolan spent every evening playing dominoes or Lincoln Logs with Grandpa.

Nolan made sure he had his head lamp when we went into the caverns. He did a really good job making sure he didn't touch any of the rocks since it was a $250 fine but he was more worried about getting kicked out. Now he wants to go back this summer when the bats are there.
