We're heading out on a year long trip!  We're looking for adventure, time together, to learn from each other, to see other parts of this great big world, and to slow life down a little bit. 

Isla's Birthday!

Isla's Birthday!

We were exited to celebrate our first birthday of the trip!  Isla May Shaw turned 8 years old on July 9th!!  We had a great day celebrating in Spearfish, SD!  The day included, but was not limited to, opening presents in bed as a family, sausage egg and cheese sandwiches for breakfast (per Isla's request), bowling, playing at the waterpark, swatting at a piñata (a surprise), spaghetti with meat sauce for dinner (per Isla's request), followed by homemade cookie dough ice cream pie (again, Isla's request)!  I think she would say.....it was a good day!
