JANUARY FAMILY FUN! This is our third year doing this for our Family Fun activity in January so I am calling it a TRADITION! We play a lot of games but we try and make this night extra special. Each of the kiddos pick a game and Mark and I pick a game together and …
The kiddos FAVORITE place has become the Denver Nature and Science Museum. So when Lydie has an appointment down in Denver, we try and make it a point to go. This time we got to enjoy their new exhibit about the Apollo missions and exploration on the moon! Every time I go to the museum, …
I love going to the pumpkin patch! I love all of the autumn activities! This year, we were on the hunt for a new place to make autumn traditions and we were led to such a gem. A friend of mine told me about Hometown Harvest Pumpkin Patch and it was the sweetest. The owners …
FAMILY FUN! This month we went down to Morrison to visit Dinosaur Ridge! This place is so cool. We went here a long time ago (click here to see when Jacob was just a wee little lad!) and it was just as fun as we remembered. Jacob, Sarah, and I have been studying paleontology in …
