Mommyknows on Tour

Posted on 03 July 2009 by MommyKnows

I’m home from Alaska (a few weeks now). It’s been super busy. School’s finally out … and the Mommyknows mobile is on tour. We’re currently enjoying the Canadian Rockies –> kayaks, rock climbing, canoes, hiking and Guitar Hero on Tour!

This is my 15 year old nephew getting his turn on the Guitar Hero for Nintendo DS.

We have several Nintendo DS’s in our house, so the folks at Nintendo were kind enough to send us TWO Guitar Hero for Nintendo DS. They are wireless, so Sam and Lizzy were able to jam together ALL the way to the mountains. Thank you GOD for headphones. They are very cool little hand-held guitar attachments that you attach to your DS.

Have car trips changed or what? Gone are the days of family sing alongs and fighting over sleeping in the rear window. Now were strapped down for safety and playing wireless guitars games. VERY COOL.

I will be back next week with DAILY posts, I’ll fill you in on my trip to AK. Sam, Georgia and Hayley’s June birthdays. Summer in Mommyknowsville … it’s glorious!

I am shuffling around barely able to walk! I bought new boots this a.m., they are making me use muscles I didn’t know I had. I am starting to seize up — REALLY!

I wish I could put you all on the top of the mountain, so you could see this in person. It sounds hoaky, but it makes you feel just a little closer to God. It’s breath-taking! My Fuji-pix just doesn’t do it justice.

Wish you were here.

So I Changed My Mind …

Posted on 03 March 2008 by MommyKnows

Just before we left Canmore, Mr. MK asked if I’d need my camera (D70) for the trip home.

I wrinkled my nose in disbelief (my ‘that’s a dumb question’ look) and said, “UHHH, NO!”

So an hour or so later when I kept oooing and ahhhhing over the mountain view and the sky. He looked at me in disbelief and said, “you want the camera right?”
