Carlsbad Caverns, part 4

We left Carlsbad Caverns and drove to Deming, New Mexico - we tried to go to Rockhound State Park and look for gemstones, but it was really hot and we only stayed a little while. We did find a few cool rocks.

On our way back home we stopped to see The Thing. The kids kept their eyes peeled for the yellow billboards and were so curious! It was totally worth the $3.50 for the 100+ miles of suspense. It was quite the build-up!
