TGIF! Have an awesome weekend everyone! I am super excited! Halloween is tonight and all my kiddos are geared up and ready. And for the first time in years hubby is actually home on Halloween so we actually get to go Trick or Treating as a family.

Hiking and Backpacking With Kids
One of my all time favorite things to do is hike and unfortunately I have not done any hiking since moving to Ohio. :( I used to hike every day in Arizona because the mountain was literally just outside my door.
