City of Rocks State Park, Deming, NM

Author: Our Grandson, Lincoln, age 9

At the City of Rocks State Park there are large rocks about 30 feet high. The rocks are stuck in the ground like enormous icicles. When we first arrived at City of Rocks (CoR) to meet our grandparents, I had no idea that there would be so many snakes. During our trip at the CoR we did a lot of hiking and climbing. One time Jack, Lucie, and I climbed to the highest point of the park. That evening we went to a stargazer party. Before the stargazer party my family and my grandparents had a hotdog roast over the fire. At the stargazer party we learned about certain constellations and planets. After we left the party we all had smores. They were so good! On Sunday we went to First Baptist Church, Deming. We had Sunday lunch at Si Senor. It was tasty. When we got back to the park we did some hiking and bouldering. Then Lucie, Grandma, Grandpa, and I played a game of spades--Lucie and Grandpa won; they beat us 313 to 163. Tomorrow we are going to Rock Hound State Park. -- Lincoln
