2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
The last two weeks of every tour have always been the hardest…for all or us. We feel the pull of home. We start to think of what lies in the upcoming months and how we should be getting ready for them. We miss our dogs. We miss our friends. We even miss doing chores around...
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
Little did we know that when we reached out to our friends, Heather and Nate Eastman, to see if they “maybe” knew a place or two we could play, we’d get a response almost immediately from Heather saying, “I’ll take care of it!” In what felt like minutes, Heather and I were in discussion about...

Sundance Truckstop in WY. Waking up to this is 100% A. OK. Because we were in Sundance, WY, we began to chat with Rudy about the famous outlaw who chose the city’s name as his own. Rudy said, “Who really was the Sundance Kid?” Well, just so happens there was a museum readily available about...

Upgrades. As I watched my son adjust his Apple ear buds, I thought, “Ugh. I know son. I hate those things too. They never fit right. That’s why I got wireless ones from a different maker.” Of course I didn’t say this, as he wouldn’t have heard me anyway, plus I didn’t need to pass...

Not gonna lie…I thought this might prove more interesting. I guess Anaconda is the name of the town. I feel slightly ripped off… So. Much. Driving. Finding a place to eat and sleep away from the giant lightening and rain storm we spent the past couple hours in was top priority. We had grabbed dinner...

My very favorite part of the trip (and most bittersweet) is seeing the progress in the boys’ sizes. I do this by having them all stand on the back stairs and I take a pic. Then, we let them jump! We’ve done it for three consecutive years now, and it just gets better!! This year...

So you’ve got a week off, they said? You want to hang out on the river, they said? We got the absolute best Missoula River experiences this week. Peppered with genuine family time, home-cooked meals, fire-pit s’mores, a jam session with an awesome eleven-year-old, ice cream treats, park time, mornings sleeping in, happy animals, and...

Rudy had been waiting this whole trip to be with his “Montana Brothers”, and the day was finally here! Since the whole day was spent on the Blackfoot River, I’ll just let the pics show the fun. We’re with them for a few days, so I’m sure we’ll get plenty of stories to tell. 😂...

Back to Great Falls, MT for the “Halloween in July” show. This is what I spend the majority of our drives looking at. Sometimes it’s great for blogging, other times it’s just right for zoning out. Today, for the three-and-a-half-hour trek, I did a bit of both. Because we needed costumes for the show, we...

One word. “Murderitas” Gretchen is hereby forbidden to bartend. I’d love to blog about today, but I was couch-ridden, nursing water, kale salad, and Greek yogurt almost all day. I finally felt about 70% around 8:30 at night and was able to do some laundry and make dinner…but hot damn. It was my own fault....
