Badlands

Shannon and I had our first off-roading experience! We went to the Badlands Off Roading Park in Indiana and had so much fun! We got into a couple of tight spots, but worked our way out WITHOUT damaging the Bronco!

They had open sand dunes to play on

Nice trails to follow

We may have taken some tighter trails than we intended to!

I sped up this video to give you a taste of the trails….we were going MUCH slower!

Family Vacation 2024

We spent a wonderful (but extremely hot!) week in Florida to end our summer break. I made the boys take a few family pictures and the guys took some great pictures of the beach and were kind enough to share them with me! You can see all of our pictures here.

The Christmas Present

For Christmas Luke gave Nicki and me a weekend stay in Chicago and tickets to a Cubs game. When we saw the date, we realized it was the weekend of Sandberg’s statue unveiling. So we decided to do that game, too! It was a fabulous weekend. We even got a Win!

Noah’s Ark

Working on Mom’s bucket list took us to the Ark! (It was on my list of must sees also, so no arguments here!) Nicki, Mom, Tara and I headed south and ran into gorgeous weather!

Ready to go!

The size was very impressive!

The ramps to go up floors on the Ark.

We put the hotel address in and GPS took us to a casino instead…we rolled with it!

Class of 2024

Mac graduated this weekend. It was a great time with family and friends.

It was a rush to get things set up after the ceremony, so I didn’t get great pictures of my set up, but did get a couple to remember it by.
