Fishing

Warm and lazy days call for fishing.  

We rode our bikes to Washington Park and decided to teach Chance and Savannah how to fish.  

They were both excited to learn something new.  

Unfortunately, we didn't catch anything.  

We came close because the pond is stocked for the children.  

All that matters is that we were together.  

Max Mountain Biking

One of the things that Max loves to do is mountain bike. 

 

 

 

 

 The last time that I was in Lansing and talking with Max's mother, I realized that she has never seen any of the photos or scenic views that Max has shared with me from his rides. 

 

 

 So...I thought I'd share some of his photos so that you all could see some of the trails and adventures that he has been on this year. 

 

 

Let Max know if any of you ever want to join him for a ride!  

Golden Gate Canyon State Park

We had our trial run of camping in the city in the beginning of the summer.  Because it went so well we decided to try camping off the grid before the season completely changed. 

Our first off the grid camping experience as a family was amazing!

I think we all breathe a little deeper when we get time alone with the ones we love in the outdoors. 

Our campsite had these huge boulders on it and the kids loved to climb to the top and have Max and I sit with them. 

They loved climbing to the top and then back around to the tunnel at the bottom. 

It was a wonderful feeling to be all together with no outside distractions. 

Days outside that end with smores are always best!

One of my favorite memories to date!
