On the road again

What better way to reconnect with your children then to whisk them away from electronics disconnect,  focus on each other, no distractions, no gadgets, no friends knocking on the door, no phone calls, no emails, no facebook, no tweets, no snapchats, no instagram, no tv just conversations, laughter, smiles, adventures, road trips, tent living, camp fires and smores...Oh did I mention camp fires and smores!!!

A 3 week off the grid camping trip just me, the littles and the dog....loaded up the car and off we go to the greatest state ever yes Montana. I highly recommend at least once in your life going on an epic road trip to this breath taking state camp your way across the land seek out all the huckleberry food you can find...you will be talking about this adventure until your last breath!!

                                 I love being able to share new things with my girls this was our first camping trip with the twins being old enough to remember camping, this was our first camping trip since becoming an Army family, this is our first camping trip with a 4 legged family member and it was our first camping trip without the husband yes the poor guy is still deployed and missing out on all this excitement...
Another first paddle boards the girls loved them and now I need to buy some....


                                                                          I love how excited they get about simple things like a beautiful lake with ripples from the breeze

I  love how they think outside of the box lets Paddle board out to the middle of the lake and use the paddle boards as a diving board...Don't be afraid to take the plunge remember being a kid? even though you were a little scared you still jumped so change your mindset set aside all the adult reasonings and excuses just go for it!! try something new paddle board, kayak, scuba diving,  skydiving whatever ....



Lastly stop put your feet up, breath in and breath out, look at the beauty, listen to the silence, the wind, the rain, the sound of childrens laughter, feel the breeze, the grass under your feet, warm stones and sand drying on your skin after taking a dip in the lake... take a photo and then go do it all again...
