Even though the water was cold one of my favorite parts of the Montana vacation was sitting on the hammock, looking through the trees at the lake. Sitting by the water late at night… Watching the little fish and tadpoles in the lake… And swimming in the lake. It was cold and it took a […]
On our way home from our vacation we stopped to do a llama trek. I booked this activity mainly for Tyler, he loves llamas and has always wanted to do this. All of the activities we did were fun, adventurous, and a success. But like I said, the people were not very warm or polite. […]
My girls have been jet skiing a few times but never boating. While growing up myself, a couple of summers we had a boat. Two big memories I have from boating as a teenager are: #1 Having to jumpstart the boat in the dock from the car, hahaha #2 Having SO much fun with my […]
I knew horseback riding was going to be a stretch for some of my girls. It took awhile to find a ranch that would work with me on what I wanted. The ages of my kids, duration of the ride, etc. Actually took a long while but I was glad I finally found a spot. […]
Glacier National Park is something I should have devoted two (or more) days of our trip too. I didn’t know much about that national park but after a little taste of it I fell in love. Wow is that a gorgeous and magical place. Can you tell I love being around trees yet? It sits […]
While we were in Montana we had not one bad meal. Boy oh boy do they have some talented restauranteurs and chefs in the area. We usually went out to one of the meals each day and I cooked the other meals during the day. We had a very warm, cozy, and homemade meal from […]
Tyler and I have always dreamed of a vacation where we stay in a cabin on a beautiful lake. I needed it to be around the forest, that was a must as well. So that is just what I looked up–something that was less than 12 hours of driving that could be that. After a […]
Sadly, I don’t think we ate anything really good in Moab. They need to up their foodie game! I did cook a lot at the home. We rented a really great home in Moab that had a community pool. Boy do my girls LOVE to swim, they could go on a vacation where all we […]
Wow, being in the Arches had me feeling like I had traveled to some far away country. Everyone really must see the Arches at some point in their life. Boy oh boy was the weather perfect. Light jacket in the shady places, no jacket in the sunny places. I had Reagan on my back during […]
Abby & Cameron have both taken a Native American camp at the Natural History Museum of Utah. They always love to hear Native American folklore, learn what games they have played through the centuries, watch clips of their ritual dancing. So I knew in my plans in visiting Moab that we needed to see some […]
love of local in Utah
