On the Road to Home

We’re on the road to home in Arizona.  Stopped for the night at a casino RV Park in New Mexico, we are still hooked up and ready to hit the interstate in the morning.  We are Arizona bound!  We’ve been so many places this summer it’s almost hard to remember!  As of today we’ve been on the road for 2 months!  So here’s a recap of where we’ve been…

Red Canyon, Utah and Bryce National Park

Then north through Utah before heading into Wyoming for a stop at Grand Teton National Park.

Where we saw rambunctious buffalo, beautiful lakes, grand vistas, roaring waterfalls, and mama moose with her baby!
 




We continued north through Grand Teton into Yellowstone National Park for views of buffalo and babies, prismatic springs, and a junior ranger.



On to another national park!  At Theodore Roosevelt National Park’s North Unit we enjoyed more hikes, ranger programs, and watched out for the grumpy buffalo!



We kept travelling north and crossed into Canada to visit Grandma & Grandpa at the cabin on Lake of the Woods in Ontario.  Kayaking, boating, swimming, fishing, blueberry picking, tubing… so much  fun!


Then we started south again and made our way to the northern Black Hills of South Dakota to view the stunning Spearfish Canyon and look over the airplanes at the Air & Space Museum.

 

Then south into Nebraska to Chadron State Park for Caleb’s 10th birthday!  We rode horses, sat out under the shade trees, hit the bullseye at the archery center, swam in the pool and hit the trails.





We moved on to colorful Colorado before moving towards arid Arizona.

Staying at Cherry Creek State Park near Denver and then moving to Trinidad Lake State Park in the southern part of the state, we mused at the animal antics at the zoo, marveled at the wonders at the museum of nature & science and relaxed by the lakes!


Now you’re all caught up on our summer adventures!  We’ve had so much fun travelling as a family with our two German Shepherds!
