When you're in Colorado Springs you have to go to the top of Pikes Peak, so we did. Emma is adventurous, like Braden. Olivia is not, like me. We did make it a couple steps down into the rocks, then Olivia said "this is not safe. let&

We debated what to do today... then it turned out to be a hang out at the campsite all day kind of day. We went hiking. The girls looked for critters. We watched a HUGE snake go by. We saw a rainbow. We had pizza. The girls roasted marshmallows and

One of the reasons I wanted to leave on Thursday was to make it to Donkey Derby Days. Donkey races. Food. Petting zoo. Donkey rides. Pretty much sounds like something we'd love... and did. Doesn't matter where we are or what state we're in.

We made it! After getting checked in at the campground we went to a BBQ restaurant for lunch. All that food and Olivia had 1 bite of rib and 3 corn on the cob. 🤷🏼♀️ We promised the girls we'd get ice cream to celebrate getting to Colorado Springs.

It's that time of year again! It's our annual big road trip. This year we're headed to Colorado! It's not a road trip unless we stop along the way for an Icee. Right after we stopped for Icees our 6th butterfly hatched!

Duluth has a railroad museum, which is super cool. If you're ever in Duluth, MN I highly recommend it. You could spend an entire day just walking in and out of dozens of different train cars. We visited the museum last year, but didn't know about

We're continuing a new tradition of spending Memorial Day on the bus in Duluth. The weather was cold and rainy for our drive... and fog. Lots and lots of fog. After we made it and parked the bus we had dinner at the Mexican restaurant. They have the

Camping season is in full swing. This weekend we camped with 2 other families. The girls loved having some of their friends to play with. They also loved fishing. When I asked both of them what their favorite thing was from this weekend... fishing. They caught a lot of fish.

... and it feels so good. This weekend was officially the first camping weekend of 2019. We like to start out nearby in case we have any problems after getting the bus out of winter storage. We've been pretty lucky so far. This year we had a water pipe

We haven't been up to anything all that exciting lately, but we've been up to a lot. The weather hasn't been very good since last Thursday. That was the last time Olivia got to ride her bike. That was also the same day Emma
