Standing on the corner.
Such a fine site to see!
This is one of those super fun but kinda cheesy things most fulltime families do! The kids are kinda glad it’s over so I will stop belting out the song in the truck constantly!!
The Painted Desert took our breath away. Driving in, it is so unassuming. We were a little confused because it doesn’t look like like much and then suddenly you are surrounded by these drastically changing landscapes. We heard so many “WOWs” from the backseat!
The dry riverbeds were so beautiful. I love the random petrified tree trunks at the bottom of the photo.
Jonah. Another stick. Another state.
On our last day in Santa Fe we all finally started to feel better and were able to run some errands. The kids spotted a comic store and were adamant about going in. They’d never been to one before and were pretty excited to check it out. I love all these first experiences they are having!
Palo Duro, you are absolutely beautiful!
We had a short travel day so we set up the RV and jumped back in the truck to go check out the visitor center at Palo Duro State Park. I’m so glad we did – the views were spectacular and they had a wonderful interactive area all about the canyon. The kids started their Jr. Ranger packet and actually finished it on their first day!
Part of our Jr. Ranger packet was to take a hike in the canyon. We headed down and the kids quickly spotted a trail […]
Well this doesn’t feel like Texas. Driving in we were greeted with Buffalo and the canyon stunned us all. So beautiful! Our spot is amazing and we are so excited to explore over the next couple of days!
I sent this one on a “needs an attitude adjustment” hike. I might have yelled “I HOPE A BUFFALO DOESN’T EAT YOU! I LOVE YOU!” as she stomped off. She wasn’t amused. But she came back much happier and declared that she found a canyon just 20 yards behind our spot. So she grabbed her camera and we all went exploring with her in the lead.
