TUOLOMNE MEADOWS

What a beautiful week!

We made such good memories.

It was so sad to leave, but oh so good to get home to our luxuries. I'm so thankful for a family that loves each other -- one and all. Brothers, sisters, cousins, moms, dads, grandma, and papa. Everyone together to enjoy God's beautiful creation. Tuolomne Meadows is the neatest place to make memories. From the many hikes, campfires, dirt, river runs, dirt, Smores, flowers, meadows, domes, trees, mosquitos, card games, dirt, deer, bear boxes & dirt, yes bear boxes & did I mention dirt -- & bears!, to the wonderful dinner at The Lodge.

It was wonderful! A vacation I will never forget!

CAMPING

We are embarking on our first camping trip this summer. Not sure yet if this is a good idea or not, but there's no doubt we'll be making memories. I can't believe the amount of stuff you have to take with you. How is this even considered vacation with the amount of work that goes into planning, preparing and prepping. Whew!

I have found some helpful sites for camping. I'm a list person, so the perfect list(s) is my best friend when packing. Here are two I enjoyed:

We also enjoyed watching the movie "RV" before the trip. Let's just hope that our trip does not even come close to resembling the movie. Blog Signature.PNG

What is better than a beautiful relaxing day at the beach?

Ending a day at the beach with "Smores"!

I found these monstrous marshmallows at Walmart. I've also seen them at Winco. They were so fun and just oozing out of the graham crackers. You can actually get two smores out of one because they are so big. But that's not as fun. One big messy smore is the best!

My kids absolutely loved them! But you better be ready with wet cloths and a big appetite.

Have fun getting messy!

Relax

Experience new things

Quality Time

Too soon summer will be over. For now, we'll savor every day!

Catch-Up

Okay, so it's been awhile since my last entry. I may have my Christmas stuff organized but I have not figured out how to organize my ciber life without it being all-consuming.

Here's a little something. We just celebrated Court's birthday. So fun! The time has flown by -- I can't believe I'm saying that. So, here's to celebrating and enjoying every precious moment with our babies, no matter how old they are.

Until my next blog, which I hope won't be in 3 months, have a beautiful, wonderful day! And, go kiss those kids of yours. :)

Loves,

Deb
