Our homeschooling and home building story.
Our last big stop of the road trip was Kings Canyon National Park to see some Sequoias. Again, a place we could've easily spent a lot more time than the few hours we spent there but we had a good time. We explored the General Grant Grove and part of Big Stump trail. We had... Continue Reading →
We had a lot of fun at the teachers convention. We ran into so many people we knew, extended family and friends.

Considering it was in the 90s and 100s all through Nevada, it was amazing to go up this mountain and be in the 60s and 70s. We needed to pull out our jackets. We had a beautiful campsite with...
