A lazy day with a fire by the river for Nate and I, while Eliza tried to finish up school and Dan took a long ride with a local group.  Nate and I are both pyro’s, so it was fun to finally get to burn real wood.  I read a complete novel and barely cooked = perfect.  The debris on the other side of this river is from the 2013 flood and it lines the banks of the Big Thompson for miles.

Only 75 days left until our adventure is over.  I want to get the kids home to their friends, but I also don’t want to lose them to our busy schedules again.  It has been such a blessing to do this trip, and while it’s been harder at times than I planned for, it was worth every discomfort to have this time together.

Live your dream.  We are.  It’s heaven.
