Where are those pictures from?

 

Big bear California, Holcomb valley dude ranch, 500+ acres of awesomeness

 

Cool weather coming through is nice. I think I missed my chance for a "last swim" of the season. At least the hot tub works. The kids didn't seem to mind the cold water tho

 

A couple you sikkos would enjoy

 

my son went for a last swim before we closed the pool two weekends ago.

water was 60° thanks to temps dropping at night.

 

We do polar bear swims with the runoff around New Years every year It’s AZ but it’s still cold AF. We’ve seen 18 degrees up there one year

 

Same spot, same crew; a year later

@AZBoatHauler did a fly by with some meat. It was epic. @robabeatle came out for a day hike too!

 

Fire Friday

 

People put overlanding on a pedestal.
I call it life/camping. I love that most of my pictures on my phone are outside and enjoying nature. I’d like to realistically think I get out in the dirt or camp 8-9 months out of the year, but I can do better!

Must be nice...

 

Priorities……
Life definitely gets in the way, and I’d love to wheel with the local cats more often; and I think we all have a real grasp on that, no hard feelings, but offers are extended often. If you show up, cool, if you don’t, we might give you shit the next time; but there’s always that next time so it’s good.

In scouts, we usually had one trip panned per month, so we were always busy prepping and packing and shopping.
Now, We’re always doing something, like the zoo or the desert museum, and I’m very thankful mama bear likes to join while camping or just letting one or soon both of the boys to come along.
And my kids aren’t even in sports yet!

 

Scouts and camping are way better than sports anyway

 

It's all about marketing and social media BS...

 

Totally agree

 

I'm just busting your balls because we're lucky if we get 4 months of good camping weather here. Used to do winter camping when I was in Scouts but my kids are a little young and my wife's a little soft for that.

 

I'm trying to convince my wife that all 3 kids of our kids - daughter and sons - should go into Scouts.

 

Just tell her without survival skills, they’re all gonna die, and it’ll be all her fault. She’ll come around. You’re welcome.

 

Earlier I ask my kid if a hand towel my wife was using to cool down her neck smelled like chloroform. He grabbed it and took a huge wife. He needs some survival skills.

 

Made me think of a few of yall

 

Yeah, that'll go over well.

 

Good morning Cru.
BLTs for breakfast..

 

Been a bit since I posted. Since we're all family in here I thought you'd like to know that everybody's favorite gymnastics mafia niece hit a milestone this week.
Broke straight through the growth plate on the radius. So she will miss her first few competitions as she recovers. Tough lil booger. No tears beyond frustration and still going to practice 16hrs/week. She's in pretty good spirits tho.
I dunno why we give her sugar and caffeine sometimes.

 

Ouch! Glad she's got a good perspective on it, and wishing her a speedy recovery!

 

poor kiddo
glad she's in good spirits though

 

Poor thing. Seems like a tough girl though!

 

Speedy recovery.

 

The resiliency of youth knows few bounds.
What is beautiful smile!
