Month: July 2019

Trista is off looking for bears with Grandpa in CA, we are heading out to meet up and reclaim our sweet boy and then head west to visit Grandma and meet back up with Trista. Lunch time rolled around and we could have made a sandwich, but really didn’t want to. Eating out while gluten…

Today, three Carkeets (and a dog) left Wyoming without Levi! He is looking forward to some quality Maw Maw and Paw Paw time! Have a great week, son!

Today we packed up to head to the airport to send my sister-in-law and nephew back home. We all went so that we could then head back into the parks to turn in our Junior Ranger books and collect our badges. This is our goodbye selfie! I am blessed to have a sister-in-law that I…

There were sparks. Big sparks, lots of sparks. Sparks are bad. When we park at my in-laws, we plug into their house. We had the air conditioner kick off a few times, there were sparks in our rig and sparks on the side of their house. This is not good.

I *might* have enjoyed a little extra time at the hotel by myself today.  I had to have mom at the airport at 0500 and really, it was still dark and probably not the safest, so I took my happy self right on back to the hotel (with an iced coffee in the fridge, and…

Today we experienced the best of what Dubois has to offer. We started off with Cowboy breakfast cooked off the chuck wagon, by my father-in-law, which is what he does best! The mules are always MORE than happy to help with leftover pancakes! Later we headed into town to introduce Mom to the World FAMOUS…

Today, we ventured over to the Tetons and Yellowstone with mom in tow! We expected some people, but I have never in my life imagined this many people in the park. IT. WAS. PACKED. When we went to Old Faithful, we found a bench for our family, ate our lunch and people began to fill…

July 7 – Not the most exciting day today.  We loaded up, packed Gramma Juju into Romeo Victor, stopped by our new favorite coffee shack for a final Huckleberry Frappe and hit the road for WY-OMING!  Long day, but we made it safe and sound! July 8 – So tired. Today we had a pretty…

Today wasn’t super exciting, but I want to include it anyway… Mom and the kids and I took a drive to seek out some Huckleberry goodies and some local stuff.  We drove south of Polson to a place we have visited before.  We did a little shopping. Recreated an old family photo (sort of) from…

So, yesterday, before we set out, I fixed breakfast for John and I.  I hadn’t quite sat down as John took his first bite and somehow managed to lose a crown (so glad we no longer have to refer to him as “your majesty”).  This morning, he got on the phone to try and track…

Today was a full, but fun day.  We got up this morning and headed over to my great uncle Jack’s house to hang with that side of the family.  It was nice to catch up with those folks, who we don’t get to see very often.  My kids had an awesome time playing with a…
