Capulin Again

I always stop at Capulin Volcano when we pass by. It was 2 O'clock in the morning and snowing hard as we passed by on the way to Denver. That was good news because the kids wanted to see some snow. In the morning John exclaimed, "Dad! look out side." He also asked, "Is real snow that sparkly?" Yes, it is, and this is real snow. That day we stayed with friends in Castle Rock and the kids got to sled and plunge around in the snow. I need to move! Houston just is too far from so many of the things I love. Anyway, after the wedding we retraced our steps back on 287 and this time we got to Capulin around noon. The four of us hike the rim and soaked in the panoramic view of this beautiful corner of New Mexico. At 8,200 feet it was a little windy and cold compared to the last time we were here but both John and Elizabeth challenge us to a snow ball fight (and lost!).
