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!!

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.

Santa Fe Skies

I mentioned last week that I was bummed we had to drive through and miss Santa Fe. After breaking down it was the closest town so here we are. It’s actually our 3rd time here and one of our favorite RV parks (Santa Fe Skies RV Park) welcomed us with open arms after a very long day. If you’ve followed our journey from early on you’ll remember this spot as the place we saw incredible pink snow at sunset in the spring of 2018. When we arrived tonight the sunset didn’t disappoint either. I’m obsessed with the skies in Santa Fe. I told Jason it’s as though the clouds have a love affair with the mountains here.

We broke down.

If you followed our Instagram stories today you know it was a rough travel day for us. 12 miles in we broke down. Thank God we were able to limp off I-25 to a pull off area that was much safer than the super narrow shoulder. Getting help on a holiday proved to be extra challenging, time consuming, frustrating and expensive. 8.5 hours and $650 later we were back on the road, all of us exhausted. Colorado as planned was just too far for today so we are going to stay put in Santa Fe for a few days to recoup.
