Jellystone annual trip

This is the second year we've gone with great friends to Jellystone! We all have kids very similar in age and all get along great. Justin both years has joined us the end of Friday but we take a long weekend and go. Max's favorite place is the lake now and he also wanted to explore the creek! 




First night the boys always go hard- Max had a sleepover with Carter and then both ended up in bed with me. It makes for some meltdowns Friday and some alone time but it's a fun way to kick off the first day. 

Sarah cooked her infamous wings and we only had 5 left over needless to say they were taaaasty. 
The second day we had a cabana which we thought was going to be for the sun...but it actually was for the rain and 20 degrees temp drop! Drizzle didn't keep us away from the lake but the temps made the splash pad really cold! Dinner was my night tenders salads and chips for win. S'mores were made before the rain got bad and we played lots of games while the boys played in the woods. The next morning we were met with more rain but got our group picture. Of course Max had tears and already was planning the next trip as we were leaving.

Max is 6!

So as it is too late to go back and recap everything we will start with where Max is this summer. 
He finished his first year of elementary school after being in Kindergarten with Ms Hunt. He loved her so much although she was a "strict" teacher. Those kids listened although she never yelled or raised her voice. I joked I would put her voice on record to help him at home! 
Reading had difficulty but he finished the year right at (or above) grade level. He is solidly into Minecraft and loves the Nintendo switch 2 he got for his birthday! 


I can't believe my little man is 6!! Super smart but michevious. Justin recently told me a story where Max got the rubix cube from the backseat and asked what is was. Justin explained he had to get each color the same on the sides. He then looked back and Max was peeling off stickers 🤣🤣

He rode his first loop-de-loop rollar coaster -although he isn't ready to ride it again quite yet! 

More summer fun to come :) 

Back to blogging

It's been many years but yesterday while thinking of a way to stop the mindless scrolling I have decided to continue blogging. This will be a way to chronicle our adventures as a family to look back in later and also keep these memories together for Max! 💓 
Many things have changed but no need to recap will just jump in here in the middle of life! 

We just came back from Myrtle Beach to pick up Max where he spent the week with Grammy in the camper. He is now a camping guy for sure!! 

The rest of the month is filled with adventures which made me think to set this blog back up! I'll chronicle adventures as well as day to day to keep a more healthy media presence while on the couch at night 😵‍💫

I found out I am not an RV park kinda girly but they did have great activities for kids and it was a super safe environtment.
