Our drive in Colorado was breathtaking yesterday. I’ll quote Jonah, who said it best, “I need to put this kindle down and pay attention to the nature around me!” We all did that yesterday. See stories for a few videos of the drive, it was incredible. We absolutely love our state park site for the week and are anxious to get in and explore Black Canyon at Gunnison National Park!
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.
It was a dreary and dark day of rain here in Arkansas today. We are still finding new routines after quarantine and settling in to Jason’s new job while also traveling. Tonight that looked like breakfast for dinner, playing games and learning guitar in our tiny, cozy, rolling home.
Jude has been hard at work doing extra chores around the RV and for my mom during quarantine. He’s worked SO hard to earn money that he’d like to purchase a guitar with. He’s washed the RV (an 8 hour job!), washed the truck, cleaned windows and a bunch of other small jobs over the last few weeks. He will reach his goal very soon!
We ventured out to the bay tonight for a picnic dinner. It was so nice to get out for a bit. There were a few people in the park but everyone kept their distance and seemed just as happy as we were to be “out”. These kids have been troopers about being quarantined. It hasn’t been easy but being at my mom’s house with lots of space and a huge porch has helped SO much!
In memory of Sophie, Aaron & Buddy. This morning Jude burst in the RV devastated to have found all 3 birds deceased. I don’t know that I will ever forget the broken look of devastation on his face. These kids poured their entire life in to these birds over the last 2 weeks, researching, caring for and loving them. They went from very frail and sick to thriving, learning to hunt on their own and fly. We were so close to being ready to release them. We aren’t exactly sure why they passed, but our best guess is the new live food or supplement – both started yesterday. Now we are navigating […]
