a wildflower for her hair

I’ll be sure to share more pictures of the trailer soon…and a couple DIY posts from some of the projects inside it. I just need to search through old pictures to write those posts. We made it to our first destination! There were some tears, trailer repairs and a bajillion bathroom breaks made along the way. The first night Chris and I collapsed in the trailer and just laughed because it was better than crying. Let’s just say that first day of travel and overnight sleep – the Griswold’s have nothing on us.

Thankfully, we are past the first day and settled in a bit. The kids went swimming and then ran up a nearby hill to look at the wildflowers and the view. I grabbed my camera to snap a few pics of the flowers. In the midst of soaking in the scene, I looked up to see my son with a flower behind his back. I could try to pose my kids, but posing never comes out as beautifully as being in the right place at the right time and capturing life unedited.

His tender and thoughtful heart often stops me in my tracks. I showed him these pictures and told him watching that moment was the highlight of my day. Moments like those make the hard parts of traveling with kids totally worth it. More than worth it.
