When we pulled in to our one night stay at the KOA, Jonah immediately spotted the bike rental station. He used his own money to rent each of the kids a bike. Love his big heart and adventurous spirit! Today we are off to Park City, Utah for a few weeks. Any recommendations on what we should see and do in the area??
We ate outside and snuck in a quick campfire tonight before the rain came in. This spot was amazing and we wish we could stay longer, but tonight is our last night in Colorado until we return in October. We are off to Utah first thing in the morning.
Today marks 10 years since his severe vaccine injury. It’s crazy for me to even type that out. That it’s been so long….that he’s recovered and healthy. He beat the odds. It’s hard to see friends we made during that time living very differently because they didn’t recover. It’s heartbreaking and the sheer luck of it all is never lost on me. We were very blessed by the people placed in his life to bring healing. Every odd was stacked against him. We worked our butts off, he worked so hard, fought through the pain. He is living proof, recovery IS possible. There is hope! If your child is suffering from an […]
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 […]
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!
