RV Family Summit!

We're so excited to be presenting at the RV Family Summit !! Want to learn how to RV full-time, part-time, or seasonally- while making family memories along the way? Join us for the RV Family Virtual Summit and learn from REAL RV families & lifestyle speakers. Find out how they did it and how you can too! We're sharing about long term life on the road (11 years!), roadschooling, unschooling, and what's next for our kids as they move out. Hope to see you there!!  It’s FREE to attend live and the event is 100% virtual! No travel required and no additional expenses for food and lodging! Just register at RVFamilySummit.com  to get the information and inspiration you need to go now, rather than later. #RVfamily #fulltimefamilies 

Lizzy, Matt, Ho Hey video!

Lizzy finally recorded a whole song for us! All it took was a little prodding (and a lot of cash!) :) And Matt played the ukulele. Lizzy plays the keyboard too, but we were lucky to get anything on video, since she really hates the spotlight. :) They're both pretty incredible and self-taught. Josh is also amazing on guitar! Not bad for three nomadic kids who've grown up on the road. I guess music lessons aren't always a necessity after all. These unschooled kids are determined to learn things they care about, and they do it impressively! There's a great chapter about unschooling in Unlocating too! This is Ho Hey by The Lumineers. Lizzy and Matt Lundy recorded at a campground lodge in Las Vegas. :)  You can watch on the blog or also on YouTube .

Capitol Reef National Park

We finally visited Capitol Reef National Park ! We've missed it every time we've come through Utah. For some reason, we've always seemed to change routes, directions, or plans, but this year we decided to make it happen. And we're so glad we did! It's a very unique park, with parts that remind us of the Badlands, Calico Hills, Valley of Fire, Zion, Arches, and Petroglyph. It also has a bunch of orchards because of the river running through the canyon, planted in the 1800s. We had fun picking apples, which were $1/pound and SO sweet and yummy! The deer were enjoying them too. The apples were so good! And it was fun to pick out the best ones. The drive from Richfield to Capitol Reef was beautiful too!

Climbing above Shoshone Falls

On our way west toward Oregon, we stopped in Twin Falls to do some climbing in the beautiful Snake River Canyon. Allen found this climb, Over the Falls at the Prow, and it was indeed high above the Shoshone Falls. So we had a pretty hike and gorgeous views in our (fortunately) shady spot at the base of the cliff. Matt sport climbed up to set the anchors. He's becoming a great climber! Then we top roped. Margie:  Matt:  Allen: Lizzy even climbed, possibly against her will. :)  Then we headed over to view the falls from the front. See our cliff on the top right?  We climbed right up there. :)  Our view from both sides.
