Colorado Fun

Nick attended a conference in Colorado Springs last week, so Emmeline and I decided we should definitely tag along. Colorado never disappoints, but what a fun week it was!

Easter Celebrations

Emmeline was old enough this year to actually understand a bit of Easter. Despite moving around Easter (hence the delayed post), we managed to still find time for a few fun celebrations.

Tour de Parcs: April Edition

We didn't make it to as many parks this month. Between moving, sickness, and Easter, it was busy!

Tour De Parcs: March

I recently grabbed a copy of The Woodlands Township’s parks, thinking it would be fun to visit them all with Emmeline. Well, I had no idea how many parks are in The Woodlands: 139! So, slowly, we are making our way through the parks that have playgrounds (about 85). Here’s the ones from March!

Bluebonnets

When you live and Texas and have kids, I’m pretty sure it’s an unwritten law that you have to take a picture of your kid(s) in a field of bluebonnets. So, I set off to do that.

Rodeo Fun!

Well, we are officially embracing the Texan lifestyle. From trail riders and Go Texan Day fun to BBQ lunch at Dad's office, it was a busy week! Since we moved to Texas 8 years ago, people have been telling me about these trail riders. Every year before the rodeo, groups of people make their way from all over the state, and ride "trails" (now roads) into the rodeo. Dressed in Texan attire, riding horses and covered wagons, they slowly make their way to downtown over the course of several days, camping along the way. So, I decided this year would be a good year to go out and try and see them. When in Texas, right?

Skiing Steamboat

After some awesome ski trips in Europe, we decided it was time for another one, this time in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Hannah and Andrew met us in Denver for a long weekend of skiing and fun. None of us had been to Steamboat before, and although it's a 3+ hour drive from Denver, it was well worth it, and the drive gave us a chance to catch up. We stayed in a cozy Airbnb near the ski resort, which was a perfect location: close to skiing and a free bus took us downtown when we wanted.
