I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…. Little did we know that our arrival in Michigan would trigger several days of snow. The snow started falling on Christmas Eve, and we enjoyed a good bit of snow while we were there. Munchkin had a blast playing in the snow with her cousins.

Awesome Science: Yosemite and Zion
Posted in Reviews
In season 1 of the Awesome Science series, we explored the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and Meteor Crater & Petrified Forest with Noah Justice. The second season of the Awesome Science series begins with a visit to Yosemite and Zion National Park. While we haven’t made it to Yosemite yet, we have been to Zion, so we were interested in seeing Noah’s take on his visit to these two parks. In Explore Yosemite and Zion with Noah Justice, Noah continues with his fun and informative presentation style as he compares the evolutionary views of Yosemite and Zion National Parks with the Biblical…
A Visit from a Javelina

As I stated yesterday, we planned to begin our journey to Michigan with a stopover at the cabin. When the cabin flooded, family members were concerned that it would change our plans to head up there for Christmas, but we knew that we wanted/needed to be there. All D’s siblings were going to be there as well as my family. Even D’s great grandma was joining the family for Christmas this year. It just isn’t something that happens that often. We had carefully coordinated to make sure that there was at least one day when everyone would be together. Yes,…
Instead of heading straight up to Michigan for Christmas, we stopped by the cabin. We needed to check in on the progress (or lack thereof as it turned out) of the work, and it was a better starting point for the trip. Munchkin didn’t know it, but Daddy and I thought it would be fun to surprise her by celebrating Christmas at the cabin. Since we were giving her a Kindle and a keyboard case for her tablet for Christmas, we thought it would be nice to give them to her for the trip rather than wait until we celebrated…
