I'm so excited to tell you all that this time next week, I plan to be living out of an old camp trailer in the Sangre de Cristo mountain range in Colorado's southern Rockies. It's been too long since my family has been in the mountains, and never in the 13 years Chris and I have been together have we taken a real vacation. It just so happens that the last out of state trip we took for the sole purpose of fun was on our first “date” exactly 13 years ago, when we decided spur-of-the-moment to flee our campus cares in Missouri and head West for the weekend. We've been flying by the seats of our pants ever since!
This time, we're bringing our brood of kids and dogs (an Arkansas caravan if I ever saw one)! Our primary goal is to live wild for a week—someplace where autumn is NOW, where there are no biting bugs or 90 degree days. I'm talking tree line. We'll be scouting for elk while we're there, and if we see good sign, Chris will buy an archery tag and hunt with his 2 little girl helpers close at hand. It would be an absolute blessing to bring home elk meat for the coming winter, but the experience will be a family keepsake either way.
High country, here we come!

Oh you guys are going to have soooo much fun. Take lots of pictures and share , share , share 
Hope you all get that elk and load up your freezer. You'll have to share some of your recipes too.
You know life is sure not boring when your flyin by the seat of your pants. I don't think I would want it any other way.
Good thoughts and prayers for a safe and fun journey.

Great pictures Jen. I love the one with your three cuties in the back seat and your trailer home (tin can) being pulled behind. Brings back memories when our three kids were that age. Oh the memories and knowledge your children will have to share with their children some day, and oh does someday happen in a hurry, so enjoy while they are little cuz they do grow up fast. Then you get grandbabies to do all over again : ).
