Cheyenne, WY

Cheyenne, WY

After a short drive up to Cheyenne we found our way to Joe and Kimmy’s house. We said our hellos and gave Kimmy and her two boys, Ben (3) and Nathan (1), a quick tour of the trailer (like we could give a long tour!). Kimmy made us some really “yummy” stir fry and birthday … Continue reading

Fort Collins, CO

Fort Collins, CO

After an action packed two weeks we woke up early and headed to the airport (thanks for the ride Karen!). We flew through security and made it to our gate right on time! Our flights were great except that Carrie got stuck in front of a very vocal young child. It is amazing that God … Continue reading

Lake Wedington/ Lake Lincoln, AR

We pulled into the Lake Wedington campground and took a drive around to pick out the best spot. We found a nice one on the water but noticed that it, and many others, had reserved signs posted on the site. We figured this must have been because of the busy Memorial Day weekend that just … Continue reading

After a fun, and physically taxing last few days, Carrie and I were in need of some downtime. So we headed out on the hilly roads from Horseshoe Canyon Ranch toward Fayetteville.
