Lowry Campground in Dillon, Colorado

The drive on Sunday from Ridgway State Park to Breckinridge was incredible! Going through Gunnison Canyon left us all breathless from the beauty. And very excited that we get to go back and spend next week there. This photo was taken at the entrance to our campground in Dillon and we instantly fell in love with this area! We are in a very rustic campground – Lowry Campground in Dillon, Colorado – for a few days (electric 30 amp only, no water or sewer) and these views are totally worth it!!

Why I love this lifestyle so much – Ridgway State Park

After dinner tonight we loaded up the kayak and drove out to the lake at Ridgway State Park. We took Maggie who loved every second of it. Pepper hates cold water so she stayed home. The kids all took turns on the kayak, swam and we watched the sunset. Tonight really reminded me of why I love this lifestyle so much. Weekday kayaking after work isn’t something we would have done when we lived in a house. But now, it’s so easy to reach out and grab adventure.

Taryn offered to take Zachary for a ride on the kayak in the shallow area. It was his first time going for a real ride […]

Sunset at Ridgway State Park – A nice way to end our day.

Confession: I took two naps today. One during Jason’s lunch break and one after he got off work. I think my brain is just tired. Really, really, tired. I’d probably feel a little guilty about it except we also went on 2 adventures today. This sunset after kayaking at Ridgway State Park was a nice way to end our day.

Gunnison National Park

Our first new national park this year! And it did not disappoint! See, views for days! Did you know that if you put the Empire State Building on the Canyon floor it would reach about the 1/2 way point in the Canyon? It’s pretty impressive!

Fish wish

Going fishing with 4 kids in tow is a lot of work. One line would get tangled and as soon as he untangled it, a line would get stuck in the rocks, or a tree or someone hooked their own butt while casting. He didn’t rest a single second the entire time. But the kids loved it and can’t wait to go again. Thankfully this stocked pond is just steps from our door.

Jude and I snuck out today and picked up a new Cars fishing pole for Z (head up to my stories to see Zachary’s “woooow” reaction lol). He loves being like the big kids and wanted to do everything himself. […]

Nature around me

Our drive in Colorado was breathtaking yesterday. I’ll quote Jonah, who said it best, “I need to put this kindle down and pay attention to the nature around me!” We all did that yesterday. See stories for a few videos of the drive, it was incredible. We absolutely love our state park site for the week and are anxious to get in and explore Black Canyon at Gunnison National Park!
