Review of Toca Blocks
by Mr. Bang One of my favorite games to play on my tablet is Toca Blocks. What is Toca Blocks? What do you do with it? How does it work? Questions that you might have in wanting to know what Toca is like. If you're not sure if you'll like it, just ask someone who … Continue reading Review of Toca Blocks
A Day in De Smet, SD
We were driving across South Dakota, listening to Laura Ingalls Wilder's book "The Long Winter" when I looked at a map and realized we would be passing just one hour from De Smet, the setting of the book! A few phone calls were made, and we arranged to spend the next day in De Smet! … Continue reading A Day in De Smet, SD
Travel Days
by Mr. Bang There are a lot of things to be done on a travel day. I clean my room and get everything off the floor. The reason it's important for things to be off the floor is because the slides come in. I latch the cabinets so that the slides won't crush them if … Continue reading Travel Days
The National Geographic Experience
by Character Queen The other day we had the coolest experience yet in Yellowstone National Park! We saw a mom bison try to get its dead baby on its feet. She flipped it and licked it and charged the birds and coyote that were trying to get it. Before we got there the calf was … Continue reading The National Geographic Experience
Yellowstone, Day 6: Canyon
Today was all about waterfalls, canyons, and ospreys...and a few geysers and bison, of course.

Now that work was done, it was time to hike up to … Continue reading Yellowstone, Day 6: Canyon

Yellowstone, Day 4: Just a Picnic
Today was the Sabbath, a lovely day of rest and worshiping God with a local church. In the afternoon, we finished up a little bit of schoolwork and just had some downtime. For dinner, The Brain had the fabulous idea to grill steaks at a spot in the park he had noticed, and then go … Continue reading Yellowstone, Day 4: Just a Picnic
Yellowstone, Day 3: Upper Geyser Basin
We had a slow start to Saturday after such an exhausting Friday. We slept in, caught up on laundry, and tried to fix a broken frig. Around two, we headed into the park. When we went to Old Faithful on Thursday, we stopped at nearly every stop along the way, then when we got to … Continue reading Yellowstone, Day 3: Upper Geyser Basin
Yellowstone, Day 2: Lost Lake Trail and Lamar Valley
We may have overdone it a bit today. After a four-hour hike and then a wildlife drive, we didn't have dinner until nearly 10, and didn't get home until midnight. We were exhausted, but we sure had fun! We started the day by visiting a momma bear and her cub. Then we stopped to see … Continue reading Yellowstone, Day 2: Lost Lake Trail and Lamar Valley
