I could never forget Walter's Wiggles and the Emerald Pools. :) It was super windy when we went so we didn't get to finish the Angel's Landing hike, but I can't wait to do it! We are either going there or Yosemite this spring. :)Katie Riddlehttp://www.riddlelove.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387877928907784339.post-8802524913903510942014-10-24T19:26:24.604-07:002014-10-24T19:26:24.604-07:00Thank you so much!Thank you so much!Katie Riddlehttp://www.riddlelove.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387877928907784339.post-3891054390159862862014-10-24T19:26:02.615-07:002014-10-24T19:26:02.615-07:00Ah, that sounds heavenly. :)Ah, that sounds heavenly. :)Katie Riddlehttp://www.riddlelove.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387877928907784339.post-58479779595041604332014-10-24T19:25:45.084-07:002014-10-24T19:25:45.084-07:00What a great job offer!

You are so close to so many wonderful places.<br /><br />I found healing going back to my childhood and setting aside time in the early mornings to hike in the mountains in LA 5-6 days a week. My kids come with me some too or we take on weekends. We noticed how much more we enjoyed our family vacations when they were spent in nature and as a family of Seven it's much cheaper too. We try to get away even if for a weekend to camp at least every other month. <br /><br />I've been offered a part time position with the national parks if the funding comes through to write family programming and running a teach me to camp program. Hoping it does because it's a dream job. But in the meantime we are building a website to encourage this exact thing. I will let you know when it's done. Our dream is to inspire families to get outside and to connect those newbies with seasoned adventure families. <br /><br />Loved your pictures from Glacier NP!! Looked like an amazing trip full of beautiful memories made.Bethany Bairdnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387877928907784339.post-57231096455298911262014-10-24T11:28:57.209-07:002014-10-24T11:28:57.209-07:00This made me think of our family trip we took earl...This made me think of our family trip we took earlier this year. Spontaneous trip - planned in less than 48 hours. Manitoba, Canada to Florida, 7 kids aged 10 years to 10 months, 3.5 days, 13-15 hours per day in the van, no electronic anythings. One of the BEST trips we have taken. Nothing can replace the family time when you're in the car together, no where else to go, nothing else to do but enjoy each other and the wonderful adventure.Kellynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387877928907784339.post-60609854940668597082014-10-24T10:54:55.412-07:002014-10-24T10:54:55.412-07:00I loved reading this & "revisiting" ...I loved reading this & "revisiting" Glacier park in memory. I enjoyed traveling when I was younger. I think there are "wonders" in our backyard & at the local park, but often we are too busy to notice. Old age & special needs children are gifts that God has given me to teach me patience & slow & contentment. Yesterday, I was painting a shed & enjoying the red leaves of the wild rose bushes so much, I hated to trim them back in order to paint. Enjoy October! Love & prayers, in Jesus, Cynthia P.S. I STILL have Jeremy's Sweetly Broken (Full Attention) CD in my player in my car. My son in law gave that to me 7 or 8 years ago & it's my absolute favorite! I rarely change it.Cynthia Swensonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387877928907784339.post-38149945765529202312014-10-24T10:26:38.646-07:002014-10-24T10:26:38.646-07:00Thank you for sharing, Katie.

I hope I can visit Glacier National Park some day, too. Maybe when your two-year-old gets a little older, your family can visit Zion National Park in Utah! It's the most beautiful place I've ever hiked in so far. Angel's Landing and The Narrows were my favorite trails. :)Laurennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8387877928907784339.post-74292172505792215872014-10-24T07:42:46.896-07:002014-10-24T07:42:46.896-07:00Thank you, Katie!

I grew up with my step-father taking my family and I to the redwoods, lakes, rivers and the ocean. I was such a tom-boy back then. Over time growing up in the Bay Area it really urbanized me. I no longer enjoyed the joy that nature brought. I was living in a fast paced world that required me to be where the action was. Now, that I have children of my own, I realize that they need the childhood I had. It should be filled with all the wonders that exist by Gods Glory. Your blog post was exactly what was needed this morning :-)Jazmin Gwynnenoreply@blogger.com
