We had told the kids that we would go hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park on Monday and they were all really excited. With all things COVID-19 right now one has to get a timed entry pass to get into the national park which we figured wouldn’t be an issue because we were able to…

More Fishing And S’mores….
We did a lot of fishing when we were up at my Aunt’s cabin, we fished Grizzly Creek a few different times and on Thursday went to both Dumont Lake and Muddy Pass Lake. I can’t say we had a whole lot of luck, although my dad, Clint, and Leighton all caught fish….and I caught…
Hiking Rabbit Ears……
While we were up at my Aunt’s cabin we hiked up Rabbit Ears. The day was beautiful and we could not have asked for a better day. We hiked through fields of wildflowers that were abloom and gorgeous. Part way up we came to a large snow field which meant we all took turns sliding…
Anniversary Hike
Clint and I celebrated 15 years married on Thursday. In true fashion we celebrated with a hike. We got our timed entry pass to Rocky Mountain for 6 AM and were on the trail before 7AM. We had our bandannas ready and looked at times like we were out to rob the stagecoach but we…
Devils Backbone Hike/Mountain Bike…
On Friday the older 3 boys went on their first mountain biking trail with Clint. I got to hike with the 2 littles. We went to Devils Backbone early long before any crowds showed up or it got to warm. We all started from the same parking lot and Clint and the boys headed off…
Hiking Poses…..
On our trip we decided that each kid would pick a pose and then every hike we went on I would get a photo of them in that pose. Initially it was to be in each of the national parks we went to but since the pandemic changed all of that we just went with…
Hanging Gardens
Our final hike on our trip was also in Page, Arizona. It was a great hike. It was called Hanging Gardens and we traveled along the red rocks and desert area up to a little overhang where the water collected along the rocks resulting in a little mini oasis of plants growing and flourishing. It…
Horseshoe Bend Hike
I’m still slowly working through blogging about our trip at the end of March. Since we weren’t able to go to the Grand Canyon with the pandemic and we were staying in Page, Arizona, we did the next best thing and hiked (really it was more of an easy walk) to Horseshoe Bend. We got…
Devils Backbone May Day Hike…..
So on Friday we needed a break from homeschool. We love homeschooling but with the added part of doing our homeschool enrichment program at home too we all needed a break. So we took off early for a gorgeous May Day hike. The kids pretty much ran most of the trail. We bike and walk…
Buck Tank Draw and Birthday Arch Hike
Not far from where we stayed in Northern Arizona just across the border into South Utah was a great little hike that we found. The hike was not easily found as it was just a little pull off the side of the road. We hike up the wash and climbed over rocks and cruised through…
