after our yard sale, we spent a couple of days getting the rest of the stuff cleared out of the house (which mostly consisted of paying our painters some extra cash to get stuff out of the house). and the following monday, we left for a local thousand trails campsite. here is the official “we […]
our last days in a house.
i was going to try to categorize this blog into several different blogs. one for “prepping to move out”, one for “easter eggs”, one for “hazel pottytrains”…. but, i’m just going to glob it all together here, and be all caught up, and move on with my life… here goes… on the night we arrived […]
family easter mountain trip

forts, piers, kites.
we had a busy day today. the weather was beautiful. and we managed to get some “school” in. and by school, i mean we visited the actual fort de soto and looked at some stuff under a microscope. i didn’t take pictures of the microscope observations, so these pics of fort de soto will have […]
