A Little About The Writer

I am roughly 40, with 3 kids and a husband. We are a pretty close little family. My kids are 11, 14, and 17. We spend as much time in the outdoors as we possibly can, doing whatever we can do together. You know the old saying, 'A family that plays together, stays together'. We play a lot. Both my husband and myself have full time jobs, so it's sometimes tough to fit in play time, but we always manage. Sometimes we even sit down and play a video game or two with the kids, but for the most part, we prefer outdoor activities.

We hike and bike, snowmobile, fish, hunt, boat, snowboard, wakeboard, waterski, ride ATVs and horses, and sometimes just wander aimlessly through the mountains on a joy ride to look for wildlife. We have geared our lives around spending time with our kids and teaching them how to respect and enjoy everything that Mother Nature offers.
