After an eternal winter and record breaking snow fall, Easter weekend was forecast to bring more snow, so we headed west to the desert for some sunshine. Mid April and this was literally the first "warm" day for 2023. And by warm, I mean 60's. At this point we were just grateful to see the sun! Our camper was still buried under 4 ft of snow in our backyard, so we helped our friends break in their new bus, and crashed with them for the night. Whats 6 more people and a giant puppy? I'm sure they didn't even notice

This is the best place to explore for all ages. There were babies in packs and toddlers climbing rocks, as well as many senior citizens out exploring. The path to the falls is clearly marked and short. About 5 minutes to the falls. You can see them great from the road too, if you just want to drive by. The path is soft sand, so be sure to wear good shoes. We recommend THESE so you're not walking around with your shoes full of sand. Plus, if your feet get wet, they will dry fast but still give you traction

Have you been to the new House Of Corn in Sandy? Stop reading and go check out their beautiful website! Then come back, I'll wait.... A few years ago we went to Mexico for a Humanitarian Trip with our kids and absolutely fell in love with the culture, people, and street tacos! That is always our go to at any Mexican restaurant, so it was fun to be able to try some new things tonight. In addition to their beloved street tacos and Mexican Coke. (House of Corn street tacos passed the test by the way. Only difference was that

We are always on the search for the most unique experiences and staycation ideas and we have an awesome one to share with you today! We just discovered the sleepy little mountain town of Wallsburg, UT. Have you been? We had such an amazing experience, the kids didn't want to leave. Obviously they didn't want to go home the last day, thats a given. But they didn't want to leave to go do anything else during our stay. And you know, we usually just "sleep" at vacation rentals because we are out exploring non stop, but this little ranch house

My sis tagged me in an instagram post for oops and said I needed to check them out. She knows, with 5 kids, I ALWAYS have a "return pile" by my door. Like, always! It sits there as a permanent fixture in our home. I set mental deadlines to make sure I don't miss the return window, then pack up the littles and my pile of randomness and make the dreaded pilgrimage to Kohl's, walk to the back of the store, and feel my heart drop as I realize I'm the 14th person in line for Amazon returns. Just what

Family Field trip Friday! Actually, I'm not sure what day it is because, summer! But I know its the first week of August which means there is only one acceptable activity, floating the river! We found this little spot when we were riding the Ogden Bike Path. And added it to our summer bucketlist. There are actually 2 spots that we found. This one, Ogden Kayak Park, and Riverdale Kayak Park. The Ogden park has 2 rivers, one larger one on the right with 3 slides, and a smaller one on the left that is faster and super bumpy (highly

I thought the Ogden Hot Pots closed years ago and everything ripped down. A google search says that "someone suggested these are closed". A couple weeks ago I decided to go exploring to see for myself. I was shocked to find people soaking and all of the Hot Pots still there! There was no sign that they were closed or that it was private property, so I brought my kids to explore. We had the place to ourselves other than one fisherman. The water was great and all the pools are different temps. I will say, the first day I
