We spent one afternoon in Lincoln, home to what one president called the "most dangerous street" in the United States. (Home to Billy the Kid.) The kids and I are standing next to a bullethole from the Kid's escape from the Lincoln County Jail.

Mom, Dad and Billy the Kid.

One evening, we headed to the Flying J Ranch for a chuckwagon dinner and western singing show. We had so much fun!

The kids enjoyed horseback rides before the dinner.

At the Flying J shootout.

The chuckwagon dinner was a hit with the kids.

And now for the entertainment!

The next morning, Tootie and I embarked on a mother-daughter trail ride.

I love Hubs' detail shots!

And off we go... (I spent the next two days hobbling around with sore muscles and a bruised butt.)

We ended our trip with a visit to New Mexico's Museum of Natural History and Science. The E-man was enthralled.
