Total accident! I try and take the kids out during Jason’s daily morning meetings so he can have some peace and quiet. Today we decided to drive up the mountain just a little to see if we could find some snow for the kids to play in. Our camp host said we’d need to go about 10 miles. So, off we went! We keep going up and up (I have altitude sickness and it was getting worse and worse). But the views were stunning so we kept going! Finally we see a bunch of cars on the top and decide to stop there too. Turns out it was the continental divide! We […]

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. […]

Ziplining

We made it to Colorado today! Our overnight stop is right on the river and has a free little zipline behind our site. Zachary got to zip for the first time and announced 3 times that he’s “big now!” Lord help me, he wants to keep up with Jonah so bad.

Legos for days

Spending an unplanned week in New Mexico was like being quarantined again. Thankfully the kids totally rolled with it and focused on school and legos all week long. Seeing the 4 of them playing together peacefully makes my momma heart happy. Big age gaps means that rarely happens, when it does, I soak in every second.

365: Parasailing

When we arrived in Orange Beach, Alabama Jonah was still in his 3rd cast in 7 months from breaking his arm twice. Then Covid-19 happened and quarantine delayed his cast removal. Once he got it off we quickly realized his feral little self needed some safe adrenaline. Keeping him in one piece is a challenge and we’ve learned safe adrenaline keeps him from hurling himself off of things lol. Once things started opening back up we gave him a choice of jet skis or parasailing. He LOVED it! No fear! 400 feet up in the air. That’s Jude up there with him….Taryn kept her […]
