In the nearly 12 years I’ve been a resident of Colorado, we’ve never had any hail larger than something between pea and marble – mostly pea, at home. Denver and the plains are another story (you can read about last year’s hail storm here). That came to a end on Monday. Monday evening a storm […]

Baseball, Balloons, and Theater!
More from June… Logan’s baseball season started. This year he moved up to softpitch, from t-ball. His team is the Cubs (the only times you’ll find me rooting for a team other than the Dodgers is when it’s based on Logan’s little league team. We went to Frederick in Flight for the first time, which […]
Happy Place
One perk of working at a school is summer breaks. These breaks provide ample opportunity to camp. This past week we visited my happy place: Steamboat Lake. If I could afford it, I would buy property up here in Route County. This is God’s country. Seriously gorgeous! This trip, we were joined by some friends, […]
Memorial Day Camping!
We love to camp (or glamp as we traded tent camping for a camper)! Colorado has so many options and what better way is there to spend a holiday weekend? This year, we went to Eleven Mile State Park. The weather was a bit chilly and damp at times, but we had an electric site […]
Mother’s Day Camping
Normally, Mother’s Day weather is the crap here in Colorado. Last year is actually snowed. Thankfully, this year the weather was hot (80s) and sunny! So, I decided to start a new trend – Mother’s Day camping! This year we didn’t go too far but stayed at a small campground in Larimer county on a […]
Hail!
May 8th was a dark day. literally. The skies were black and angry over Denver. And then the clouds opened up and dumped not just rain, but hail. Large chunks of it – golf ball sized in fact. The hailstorm lasted for 30-40 minutes whilst I stood inside with my colleagues commiserating over the fate […]
On the 4th we will go…
If you guessed camping, you would be correct! If you haven’t figured it out yet, our family loves to camp (or go campering). Even my colleagues have figured this out. Anytime there is a long weekend, I will be asked by several coworkers if I am going camping and where. Some have even sought out […]
Steamboat Lake
If I could (afford to) live anywhere in the world, I’m pretty sure it would be Routt County, Colorado. Man that is God’s country, right there. I’m pretty sure Steamboat Lake is my happy place. It’s far removed from the hustle bustle of Steamboat Springs, and nestled in a picturesque river valley. We first discovered […]
