Mackeys Meander the Magnificent, our Junior Ranger Adventures. The Dirt We didn’t take a spaceship…but we did journey across Mars and or Mercury (we felt VERY close to the sun!) to land at Big Bend National Park!

The Gathering Place – Tulsa, Oklahoma
The Dirt This is the place for multi-generational families to meet and play together. We are always seeking spots on road trips that allow for the kiddos to maximize their gross motor play before strapping them back into their seatbelts! This park FAR exceeded our expectations. It was a (paved and ADA compatible) stroll throughContinue reading “The Gathering Place – Tulsa, Oklahoma”

Conner Prairie: A Very Merry Prairie – Fishers, IN
The Dirt I am going to go ahead and start you off with the COOLEST lights of the whole evening. (See moving image above…obviously.) Not only were the bridge’s speakers blaring TSO’s best (a major bonus in my book), the lights were seemingly dancing along. Which, of course, led to some interpretive Christmas dancing (moreContinue reading “Conner Prairie: A Very Merry Prairie – Fishers, IN”
