Air Soft trip to Missouri!

 While Stephen and I were in Vegas, Edward went with my friend Andrea to Missouri for an airsoft tournament.  He was so excited.  He talked his friend Ben Elder into joining him on the trip.  They drove 14 hours and camped many days and had a blast!!  They also went to a cool cave museum and crawled through tiny spaces.  Edward looks forward to anything airsoft and I love that!! 

Kingman, Arizona and Dallas, Texas

 I can't even remember the last time I went to Kingman and visited my family.  My parents moved to Albuquerque in 2019 and I didn't have a lot of motivation to drive to Kingman over the last five years. I have been sometime in there but I really can't remember.  Either way, I had decided to go to Kingman before my mom died.  I was going to take photos of all my friends and make some money to pay for the rest of my Hawaii trip.  I also had Sharla set up some photos of her kids that take riding lessons at her ranch.  Friday, my dad and I work up early and hit the road so that we could get into town before sunset.  I had planned a lot of family photos for the weekend and needed to get there to have enough time to fit them all in.  I took photos of Veronica's family on Friday then we went to dinner with Jared and Faith at the Dam bar.   

Saturday, I woke up early to take Nikki's family photos near the golf course.  It was gorgeous!  I have been training for a 10 mile trail run so I had to get myself push myself to run 8 miles up Hualapi mountain road that morning.  I stayed with Amanda at her house it was just delightful.  After my run, I showered and headed over to Sharla's house to take photos of her lesson kids and ride.  We went to lunch with her and John then I was off to take photos of two more family's! 

Saturday night, Jared and Faith hosted a dinner at their house so we had some food and fun.  Then I went to Sharla and John's house and fell asleep.  I had another family Sunday morning before my dad and I drove back to Albuquerque.  It was a whirlwind of a weekend and I am so glad we went.  We got stuck in the snow on the way home but all in all had a fun time seeing our old friends and family.

This same exact weekend, Edward was invited to go to an airsoft game in Dallas, Texas with my friend Andrea Landaker and her daughter Sapphire.  He had so much fun!  It was a really long drive and he was gone Thursday to Monday but he said it went too quickly.  He is looking forward to the next airsoft game out of state!
