Sometimes fulltime RV life looks like this. Being stuck for 2 weeks, no running vehicle, no adventures and an extra $6300 out of pocket in the last month alone. Praying we have finally fixed the issues and we can get back on the road tomorrow evening.
We have officially fallen in love with north Yellowstone. Goodness, this spot feels unreal and we can’t believe we get to live here for the next week!! We stayed in West Yellowstone in 2018 and loved it for accessibility to what we wanted to see on that first visit. This trip we decided to choose between Cody and Gardiner. Gardiner is so charming and we can see Roosevelt Arch from our campground. Excited to hit Norris Basin tomorrow and explore all week long.
Today was hard. We found out that my former father-in-law, Ty’s grandpa, passed away. We knew it was coming as he was removed from life support yesterday. It’s just a very sad situation. It feels like a lifetime ago that he was a part of my daily life. He was there for us during some really hard, difficult, times. He absolutely adored Ty and his older sister. Moments after we found out about Nathan, we broke down while moving from our rustic mountain spot to a nearby resort. We had to be towed 0.5 miles at a cost of $350 😣 They used a chain pull since we were towing the RV. […]
Last night after a long day of playing in the snow, we decided on a whim to go hiking after dinner. Probably not the smartest decision at 8 pm but it was short and beautiful. Thankfully the kids did great!
We woke up to a beautiful snow day! This is such a treat for these Texas kids! Today was described as “The day free fun fell from the sky!” I am so thankful for this time with them.
Getting 6 people snow ready in a tiny space is a huge job! We knew the snow was coming so last night I assigned each kid a dining room chair and we set out their gear: warm clothes, scarves, hats, mittens, boots. One thing we do for snow is utilize rain gear. We bundle up underneath in warm clothes then add it on top. It keeps them dry and we don’t have to store bulky […]
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 […]
