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.

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 […]

Caprock Canyon State Park, Texas

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.

I didn’t even dress them alike. This is just what they wore this day…

It’s impossible to describe how loud this much water is.⠀

This little guy is walking about 95% of the time now. And he still thinks it’s hilarious. 😂 We leave Houston bright and early, have a week in central Texas and then we start moving really fast (for us anyway)….every couple of days! Eeek! It’s about to get crazy!

 

Showcase of Citrus

We hit the orange groves at Showcase of Citrus literally hours before we hit the road out of Orlando. I put it off until the last day when we had a million other things to do but I’m SO glad we snuck it in! I’m counting these photos as both Jude and Zachary’s birthday session and I’m completely in love with every last photo.

This little guy is 1! He’s so bright and smart. He loves to dance and thinks walking is the most hilarious thing ever. If he’s walking, he’s laughing. He’s constantly looking for Jonah, loves to dance with Jude, and snuggle with his […]
