Last weekend, one of Mark’s best friends from college came down with his two oldest kiddos and met Mark, Jacob, Sarah, and Benjamin for the Jurassic World Live Tour in Denver. They had so much fun! I didn’t get a whole lot of details – so I will just let the pictures speak for themselves! …
We are trying to do more “experience” type gifts in our family and it has been so fun. Memories over things any day! Mark and I got Jacob tickets to go to the Wild Animal Sanctuary for his birthday and Jacob cashed them in this week. Mark and Jacob went together and had a great …
