We went to my family's ranch in Des Moines, New Mexico for a nice vacation in early July. The girls and I were there for 10 days, but Bryan was only able to be there the weekends. We had a lot of fun with lots of family there to help take care of the girls. At one point there were 20 of us in one house with only 2 bathrooms. Only my cousin, Derek, was not able to be there. Towards the end of the week, Ella and Emma were kind of grumpy, for reasons unknown, but we didn't let that ruin our week. They worked quite a bit on learning to walk while we were there, and really started taking off shortly after we got home. On to the pictures:
