Hiking in the rain ☔️
It’s raining today! ☔️ but that didn’t stop us from hiking! 🌲🌳🌿 The boys chose to just wear hats 🎩 but Simone and I wanted umbrellas 🌂 ! We didn’t really see or hear a lot in terms of animals… but the hike was relaxing and fun! Such a great way to start the day! …
Hot Dog… It’s Hot outside!
We went on a 30/30 hike today – 2.7 miles! In the afternoon sun! Ugh!! It was fun, though, and we saw a beautiful mini- waterfall! *who is that woman with short hair? LOL!! After the walk we went to a splash park… The kids claimed they weren’t going to get …
Post-Rain Hike
This morning I took the kids to an essential oils make-and-take class where we made roller-ball blends. It was fun and now we all smell amazing! Simone’s blend was for her head tension pain (she gets them from car rides), the boys are seasonal relief, and mine is for congestion! Everyone can keep their …
And I quote my son… “that’s how you play in a creek!”
The hike started off clean enough… it’s a 30/30 hike, one that we are quite familiar with at Sioux Passage. But then the kids spotted the old tree bridge across the creek. I have never let them cross it because I was always so afraid of them falling! Well, I am no longer afraid! See, …

In Which A House Is Built At Pooh Corner for Eeyore We thought the logs would make a good house for Eeyore. In Which Tigger Comes to …
Yay! It’s the first day of spring! 🌸
We woke up this morning to snow!! Thankfully after church and lunch… The air had warmed up and the sun was shining! It turned out to be a perfect day for a 30/30 hike at Champ Park! As usual we had fun swinging on Wild Grape Vines! Josh secretly recorded me trying to climb …
“Stop throwing algae!”
Yes, I am a mean mom!! I ordered my children to stop throwing algae at each other! Really, though, I should have just saved my breath… Because this happened a few minutes later: Andre ducked to avoid an “accidentally ” thrown algae ball and he fell sideways into a few inches of water in the …
Bella Fontaine Park
We went on our first hike for the 30/30 challenge. The first park on the list was Bella Fontaine Park. I printed off some information from a couple different websites that give the history of the park and the community it is in. History of Bella Fontaine Park The park was originally named Lander Lane …
I have a plan: the 30/30 hike challange
I have a plan! Which is such a good feeling😊 I’m usually spontaneous and lack strict routine and schedule, but I typically have an idea for what I’m doing! Except… We are becoming a wild family and I don’t really know how to do that! I’m just as inexperienced as my kids are when it comes …
