About Me & My Family

My husband and I have 4 kids... 3 boys and then our girl. We homeschool them all and travel when possible. We just started letterboxing and are finding ourselves a little obsessed with it.
Our Family's Travel Personality
adventurous, curious, structured, relaxed, simple, independent, spontaneous, easy_going
We Just Got Back From
Zion and Bryce National Parks
Our Favorite Vacation Spot
Camping in Kings Canyon or Yosemite
A Place We'd Love To Visit
The Redwoods in Northern California
Favorite Vacation Memory
Walking the meadows of Yosemite with my family. The quiet, the sparkling water, the rustling grasses, and a dip in the river made for an amazing day.
Worst Travel Moment With My Kids:
Anytime throw up is involved. Especially when one kid triggers another. And when we are in the car. And when they choose to use the box that is holding all their library books and toys.

We will be visiting Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon in end of May with our almost 4 year old and I was searching for advice on the Internet. Your post was very helpful so wanted to thank you for that! Also have a couple of questions - did you consider a child carrier (backpack thingy) for your younger kids? If so, then how did that work? I am looking for a pair of hiking boots/tennis shoes for my son but don't know where to get a pair that has adequate traction. Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks a lot for your help!

I spent my summers here as a kid, well at the Christian Camp.  LOVE my memories here & never even knew this campground existed.  Might have to do this one!! :)

Hi McFam!
hope all is well, I saw on your profile that you homeschool your children!! I admire that so much!! There is so much wrong with today's curriculum. How did you and your husband arrive at that decision? WIth 4 kids i am sure "free time" is scarce, but if you ever get a minute i would love some insight!!

lots & lots of blessings !
Michelle

Thanks for that information, especially on where the campground is located.  It's so hard to tell from the website.   I'm planning a group trip for 9 families with really little ones (the oldest will be 5).  It's obvious that you've spent a lot of time in the area, for a first time trip, would it be better to be in the Lodgepole area?    Thanks again so much!

Thanks Thank you 02/02/12

Hi there.  I'm looking at planning a group trip to Sequoia National Park with almost the same amount of people and kiddos.  I'm wondering what site # you'd recommend, if you can remember ;)   Thanks so much!
