Spring Break 2016 - Red River - Surprise and Planning

Spring Break was approaching, and our plans had fallen through.  We had rented a lake house with two other families but a work situation had gotten in the way.  On the Wednesday (3-2-16) before Spring Break started, Dad played golf with some friends at the club.  One of the guys talked about a recent family trip to Red River, New Mexico and how much fun it was, how close it was, how small and accommodating it was, and how easy the drive was.  Dad called Mom with a crazy late idea to take off to Red River on Sunday!  Lots of excitement and lots of scrambling to get gear and lots of planning happened so quickly!  Friday was official "gear" shopping, and Beau did the most of the trying on.  He loved it!!!  Looking good in his ski gear!
When Lincoln got home from school on Friday, he got to try on his new ski stuff!  Soooooo excited! 
Mom and Dad had ski gear stored away from a trip in February 2008, but we had to dig it out and get it all cleaned and organized.  Seriously, this is happening!!!  Also on the list was buying headphones for the car, charging iPads and DVD players, getting snacks and drinks for the road trip, bringing extra towels for the condo, creating the largest most and most quickly put together packing list, locating extra under layers, and on and on.  We were determined to get it all together to be ready to go!!!
