After being in San Felipe for 2 weeks we crossed back over to the states for our oldest’s doctors appointment in Yuma. Crossing the border is always a bit different getting back into the USA than it is entering Mexico..
I took a little break from blogging because frankly, I was feeling pretty miserable and overwhelmed with the new needs our family had to be a functional, loving and supportive family with a kiddo with a broken leg. Every time I sat down to write I only had negative words pouring from my fingertips so […]
This was a long, traumatic, painful and sad bunch of days. It all started when we wanted to help celebrate Christmas with some events while we were in Tucson. We had found a couple festivals to attend but all were after 3pm so we wanted to find a place where the girls could play in […]
We had been planning to go to the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque for some time, however we weren’t planning it a year in advance like most others therefore we could only find a camping spot for 3 out of the 9 nights of the fiesta. Eh, better than nothing!
Oh Country Fair! We had wanted to go to this festival for years but didn’t think the girls were old enough to walk on their own feet for that long so we had passed. We finally did it this year and it was like a Renaissance Faire mixed with Burning Man and a hippie concert. It […]

Quartsite was our new camping location. Many of the full-time families were continuing onto another meet-up at the Bash in Lake Havasu. However, not only did we not have tickets for this event, we also were ready to move onto a quieter setting for a bit. Meeting up with lots of other families is nice […]
The Full-Time Families group that we are a part of had another meet-up in a town called Lake Havasu AZ near a balloon festival. We all camped on BLM land outside the town. Some of our friends we had made at a previous family meet up had saved us a spot so we decided to […]
Since we were going to be on the road for Christmas, one of our good friends’ Mom, who lives in Colorado, so very graciously invited us to spend Christmas with the whole family (including our dear dear friends from Portland of course). We knew this was going to add a lot of long driving days […]
