Blyer Family National Park Tour
When we started having children it became our dream to show them the amazing world that God created and the country that they live in. Fast forward 11 years and the kids are all old enough (ages 11, 8, & 5) to understand and appreciate what they are seeing. So, we are embarking on our first adventure to see the National Parks in Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. Let the journey begin!
Day 1-
6/7/18
The kids finished their last day of school, got off the bus, and we hit the road. We now have a 6th grader, 3rd grader, and 1st grader and are taking them on a month long summer field trip!
