For our first full day in Glacier National Park I signed us up for a guided tour in one of the historic 1937 red busses. We met our guide at 8:30 (too early in the minds of the kids) and even though it was 47 degrees outside, he immediately asked for help converting our bus […]

If you have read Jacks post: He lies, I crush him at Bad Tommy and when he wins, he barely wins. This week when we were leaving Yellowstone we decided to stop in the national forest 🌳 to see a visitor center because Daddy wanted to know why there were dead trees standing in the
We have been taught a game similar to badminton called badtommy. We named after Mr. Tom, who we met while staying in the Tetons. You use rackets and a shuttle cock to try and get points and the first person to get to eleven points, or two more points than your opponent, whichever is more.

The kids asked to take Friday “off” from early wake-ups, museums, hikes, etc. We agreed and scheduled a day that was to be anything they wanted to do. Their major idea was to take the Jackson Hole tram to the top of the ski mountain and walk around the area. But Aleah insisted that it

I’ve had some great foiling sessions since we left DC. Down the East Coast as we stayed in one great beach after another I expected to get in some winging and I wasn’t disappointed. Since we left the coast I’ve also found some wind and water in Missouri, South Dakota, Nebraska, and today I checked

On Friday, after driving around Jackson we visited a bend in the river called and oxbow bend to see some animals, and for once we did! The first animal we saw was a bald eagle. It was flying around overhead and flew so close to me I could hear its wings flapping. I decided to
