The first trips my husband and I took together were camping trips. We both loved going off grid for a few days, and honestly, camping was easy on our college-student budget. We became regulars at the state parks around College Station, and experts at tenting, campfire-building, and stargazing. Camping became “our thing,” and after graduation we packed the tent and bag phone (remember those??) in my Taurus to live out the lyrics to Robert Earl Keene’s “Gringo Honeymoon.” We spent the next five weeks National Park hopping through seventeen states, talking about our future jobs, future kids, and future camping trips with those kids, paid for because of those jobs. We dreamed of becoming <i>full timers</i>, and pulling a camper <i>with a shower and potty</i> into our nightly campsite. Those 9,000 plus miles helped shape a part of Us, and this summer we shared some of that history with our three kids as we lived out the lyrics to a different song in our very own camper at Yellowstone National Park.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We planned for ten days, and a lot of togetherness. A lot. I must admit, I was nervous about how much togetherness the children could take, especially all cozy in the backseat of the truck, and at all the historical landmarks we planned to view. I was especially wary of how much they would appreciate the natural landscape—our only major attraction for about 4,000 miles. But, it worked, and it was during all this togetherness and solitude from the real world that we made some interesting observations.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1-Our family is absolutely addicted to Google. As soon as we entered Wyoming, our phones boasted “no service,” and there was no texting, emailing, spotifying—nothing. On one hand it was AWESOME. The teenager couldn’t plug in, and the husband couldn’t check email. We were TOGETHER. But on the other hand, we realized that none of us really knows the answer to anything, and we wonder about a lot of random things. I lost count of how many times a day we wished we could Google something, and eventually we had to start writing down our questions for future Googling when our cell service returned.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2-We LOVE a gas station break. I’m serious. We are critical of the gas stations we choose, and particularly love a gas station/gift shop combination. We practically run out of the car to peruse the options of refreshing beverages and treats, and with those in hand, wander aimlessly up and down every isle shopping for treasures. They might not seem like treasures to everyone, but they are treasures nonetheless.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3-State signs are a hard stop to make with five family members for proper Kodak moments. My husband and I used to be able to hop out in five seconds, smile and move on. Now it’s a fifteen minute stop in order to stalk the road for a safe pull out while the children gather shoes and untangle themselves from the back seat. It’s worth it—well, I think it’s worth it. It’s just a process, as with many things.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4-We love our dogs. About three days into the trip we wanted to FaceTime the dogs to let them know we hadn’t forgotten them, and at every mountain, hike, campsite, or dinner we couldn’t help but wonder what the dogs would think. I’m not sure how many people think for their dogs, but we do more often than I realized. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5-We cannot play family Putt-Putt. Without going into too many dysfunctional family details, let’s just say it’s forever off limits, and professional golfing, miniature or otherwise is not in anyone’s future. Ever.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
6-Yellowstone is beautiful. There actually aren’t words to describe the uniqueness of this little corner of the world. We were amazed by the geology, the geysers, and the steam vents (just to name a few!). We drove inside of a volcano. We hiked a mountain. We watched boiling water erupt from underground, and steam float through acres of grassland and mountain terrain. We saw hundreds of bison, were surprised by their angry sounds, and quickly got out of their way. We saw a bear and a bald eagle. It took my breath away, and I watched it inspire my children. It changed all of us—for the better.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
7-It’s always good to have a plan, and a plan for that plan. It’s important to have a big plan for the whole trip, little plans for each part of the trip, and tiny plans for each day within the trip. It’s also important to have back up plans. Our children don’t do well changing plans or making plans in the moment. They like a map, a destination, and a set of tasks. We had one day without a plan. One day. Never again.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
8-Motorcycles are really, really loud. We managed to plan our trip during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally when a documented one million bikes were on the road. That’s a lot of motorcycles for a family of five to maneuver through on the highways, gas stations, campsites, and Mt. Rushmore—especially Mount Rushmore. I had no idea bikers were so patriotic, but according the parking garage and motorcycle parade we experienced, they love the Black Hills of South Dakota. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
9-Every state looks different, and our country is enormous. I printed a map for the kids to reference as we road tripped up to Yellowstone, across to Mt. Rushmore, and home again. We colored the states we traveled through on this vacation, as well as other states we have visited in previous vacations. There was some interesting conversation as the kids compared Texas to other states in size, people, customs, and seasons. We also decided every state other than Texas is cold all the time. We bought sweaters.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
10-Family vacations are precious. Traveling itself is important to us, and I think we’ve managed to pass that on to our children. Of course we love and crave new experiences, different cultures, and breathtaking sights, but for our family, it really is more than just the destination, and that’s why we absolutely love the Road Trip. Carving out the time to be together, just the five of us, without the distraction of our everyday is sacred. It’s not always sunshine and roses, as referenced in the Putt-Putt discussion, but it is always real, and I love when things are real. As I look into the next ten years, I feel how precious these moments are, and want to create more precious memories that could make a difference in the family we become.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div>
It was my daughter that pointed out that we had <i>made it.</i> On our first day on the trip, I was rambling on and on about how wonderful it was to have a refrigerator traveling with us in the camper for our drinks, lunches, and snacks, and as she was making fun of my simplistic happiness, it was actually she who said the words, “You and Daddy did it Mom, just like you hoped for in the scrapbook of your Gringo Honeymoon. ” Of course her realization made me tear up, because that’s what I do, but I was overwhelmed at her simple truth. We did make it, and I hadn’t even realized it. We’ve stood on mountaintops. We’ve white-water rafted. We’ve seen Old Faithful. We’ve cooked family dinners over a campfire, and lived in a camper for ten days without going insane. This time the music was more of a soundtrack than a guideline as we fought over Taylor Swift, Pitch Perfect, Texas Country, and Imagine Dragons, but her simple observation proved just how much our experiences mold us and how our blessings humble us. I don’t think our kids really ever thought about life before them, but this trip showed them a time when my husband and I were just Us, with only a promise of them. I think they were a little surprised by that, and that tiny bit of perspective makes me smile.</div>

As if Tanner's field trip wasn't enough for this sappy Mom, I had to see Madison's last band concert the same day. She's elected to get out of band (sniff, sniff), and head into art and journalism instead. I can't say that I'm surprised--the girl does love art, but I am sad to see her leave the world of band. It's a geeky world, but a good one. Next year she'll attack her new classes as an 8th grader--the same age I was when we moved to Decatur. So many times I still feel like that person, and I can't believe my own daughter is that old. My little leafy twig--growing up so fast.Danielle M.

Tanner's last elementary field trip--science days to the Methodist Church Camp. I was so glad that I got to be there with him--next year I'll have ANOTHER middle schooler? I just can't believe how fast things are moving.</div>

I've been working on the backyard since we moved in--there's ALWAYS something to do, but it's getting there. My most recent addiction is finding old things to put in the yard to make it look whimsical--notice the bedframes, ladder, etc. I could work almost everyday moving flowers around, adding mulch, adding another flower bed--rarely do we just sit and enjoy it. But someday we will--and when we do we will finally see the fairies that live there. :)Danielle M.

We adventured to the ballpark this Easter Sunday for tons of excitement! Madison was blown away by her book, of course. Grady loved all the snacks. Tanner was featured on the BIG SCREEN twice for his moves like jagger, and Todd caught a foul ball! Great way to spend the day--after taking a jillion selfies to get this one JUST RIGHT.Danielle M.

Grady turned 8 years old!!! All he wanted was to have his favorite people over for jumping and hanging out in our backyard--so that's what we did! It was actually a really nice evening with friends and the kids had a blast jumping in the fancy jumphouse. I can't believe he's just 2 years away from double digits--growing so fast! </div>

In a random turn of events, we got to go on a date night on a Thursday--and even got to dress up evening wear style! Wise Regional is opening a hospital around the Alliance area, and this was the grand opening. It was WEIRD walking around a hospital in a cocktail dress and drinking wine, but we rolled with it--even met Jason and Jenn for some post cocktail party pizza afterwards. At this point, we take date nights when we get them! Hospital cocktail party and all!<br />

No parade this year due to rain--but we definitely made do with shamrock cookies and grandma cookies--of course with soda bread on the side. It was a bit of a bummer that we had to go to school on the Monday of St. Patrick's Day!!! (even Cale said he was surprised to see me at school since he knew it was a Scroggins Holiday)--hopefully this is the only time for that kind of crazy. :)Danielle M.

This was our fourth youth fair--Gran was in charge of all the cooking. Tanner took it very seriously--and won 2nd place with his scratch cake (yum!). Madison did well with her break, and also with some crafts---we've made a plan for next year for her to enter more crafts--she's always crafting and the we are stressing to find something for the fair! The most exciting event was definitely the chickens--2nd and 4th place--made the sale for both! Big Year!</div>

Madison competed in the Regional Spelling Bee this year--her second trip to TCU. While she didn't want to study--she did wind up cramming a few days before, and learned many many origins of many many words. Needless to say, she is already a way better speller than me--or than I ever will be. The first pic is priceless--straight from the Ft. Worth Star Telegram. She was so nervous once it began, and we are so proud of her for making it this far--twice. She's our nerdy wordy girl--and we love her for it.</div>

I'm not even joking. We've got fifty (give or take a few) chickens in our garage, as well as six hens and two roosters in the backyard. There are chickens everywhere. There are chickens right outside my garage door, front door, and back door. I see chickens when I get my morning diet coke, when I wander around my flowerbeds, when I watch the kids jump on the trampoline, and they literally greet me when I drive up. I suppose that wasn't enough chicken for me because I hatched the idea to decorate our kitchen in roosters and the Hobby Lobby chicken section will never be the same.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">How you ask? Why you wonder? Frankly, I blame my friends. It started slowly, with a science fair project here and a 4-H project there. They would bring us fresh eggs, and animatedly discuss how interesting it was to own chickens, to watch them hunt and peck, to feed them, and to find eggs every morning like a real-life easter egg hunt. All of this lead us down that infamous road the chicken crossed, and I'm pretty sure I heard some of our friends clucking…."chicken?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">We first feathered our nest for the 4-H broiler project, and last year raised twenty-five broilers from chick to adult for six weeks before youth fair. The kids (and I'm counting my husband here) learned what to feed, how much to feed, when to feed (constantly by the way), and how to hold the chickens by their feet for judging. This animal project was great for us because 1-we don't have a barn, so the little chicks inhabit the garage, and 2-it's short-lived. The kids learned the valuable lessons involved in a 4-H animal project, but mom and dad didn't have to live with livestock year-round. That project spurred my husband to rule the roost and build a chicken coop last spring. We raised DIFFERENT chicks after youth fair to have for our very own. Thus our love for the little red hens was born. Farmer Scroggins (my husband) established himself as first in the pecking order, and those girls followed him all over the yard. We had a blissful summer getting to know them, and waiting for the first eggs. I think I was more excited than anyone the morning we found that first egg--it was a MIRACLE! Instant Facebook moment. And let me tell you, store-bought eggs don't hold a candle to these fresh ones. Yum. We bought ourselves an official egg collecting basket (you can't put all your eggs in just one basket after all), and now gather six eggs daily. For a family of five that just about works out--even when we are out of ketchup, we still have eggs. No one is going to starve around here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">Sadly, my own ignorance disrupted this peaceful chicken existance because I wanted a rooster. I really laid an egg on that one. Now we have two: Hawkeye and Wacky. I don't want them anymore--two free roosters going once….</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">Not to brood about it, but between the CONSTANT cock-a-doodle-doling and sneak-jump-on-my-back-with-claw attacks, I'm putting them up for adoption. Who knew they could be so MEAN??? They deserve to be kept cooped up and when Farmer Scroggins isn't around--that's exactly where the kids and I like them. And that's all I have to say about that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">So that brings us to the present--where we have invested in FIFTY broiler chickens (again in the garage), and are reliving the process of feeding, watering, and changing bedding, (repeat as often as possible). Youth Fair is just around the corner, and it can't get here soon enough--I love the learning, but sometimes learning stinks (even when you stick your neck out).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;">I'm ready to reclaim my garage, find a good home for these two "all boy" roosters, and establish my place as mother hen. If you'd told me two years ago that this was how I would be looking forward to spring, I would have said you'd flown the coop, but that was before we had all this fun to crow about.</span>

I thought it was Madison, but then we had Grady. He just asked to drink milk because if he drank water the seeds from the apple he ate earlier would start to grow and that would "of course cause problems mommy." This was after the imaginary warfare outside earlier and the dwarf planet debate over Eris we had when his teacher literally said "Just ask your Mom about it."<br />
Yep, he's sumthin!

<br />
We survived a week of gallbladder attacks. Apparently it's a family tradition. Last Saturday I took Todd to the ER, and they sent him home with heartburn. We were back the next day, sonogrammed and admitted for surgery. It's taken the week to get him mended but I finally think we are there. He's not the best patient, but he's the best I've got. :)<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIretCVjdRAucR4xaeTVpFiaxHDtW9G72R63BzXr6C0PJrs0XtAFPFtC4DFP88NqbCxuOB0wRzJj_lKF9uoNQJvCqiU6Xc-cf-8xMZprqEBA_ik96wq3_ZikOkz_K_UYcy9K0vMn0zIlNo/s640/blogger-image--800380889.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIretCVjdRAucR4xaeTVpFiaxHDtW9G72R63BzXr6C0PJrs0XtAFPFtC4DFP88NqbCxuOB0wRzJj_lKF9uoNQJvCqiU6Xc-cf-8xMZprqEBA_ik96wq3_ZikOkz_K_UYcy9K0vMn0zIlNo/s640/blogger-image--800380889.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglVMBTZM6gHEALW51Hn0aWzkrkz934KJtUZezWE86KyE0CcxWmb8EV3BCkvxYvfM1kO3GoqzEqJNznZWckkEm2krYC-BGe5k-9oy982meA2G7uIOTRKKqQEaICp8iVehKqX8mW36rQX2gS/s640/blogger-image-85993465.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglVMBTZM6gHEALW51Hn0aWzkrkz934KJtUZezWE86KyE0CcxWmb8EV3BCkvxYvfM1kO3GoqzEqJNznZWckkEm2krYC-BGe5k-9oy982meA2G7uIOTRKKqQEaICp8iVehKqX8mW36rQX2gS/s640/blogger-image-85993465.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ9eknVzV76zPTqzzYWeAm8IbfTRy1xLMK9A0gmHGJO90hKOZYjTdmxKxvX3-OK5Smk5-du5O0F9T6YHS_RetqXlTuEdzjNh1S0QqxawgxgQANAbAOf7_G2eWmuJbPxnGfQvycccouqDPq/s640/blogger-image-798156171.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ9eknVzV76zPTqzzYWeAm8IbfTRy1xLMK9A0gmHGJO90hKOZYjTdmxKxvX3-OK5Smk5-du5O0F9T6YHS_RetqXlTuEdzjNh1S0QqxawgxgQANAbAOf7_G2eWmuJbPxnGfQvycccouqDPq/s640/blogger-image-798156171.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgne7_HM6BX5uUNBAizB4e8VFsL4rXuW-dQkLA-Ev8FoBOl2BkJgb3Sg1gklq-9Zp8NqnqmGwViejaVAl1SpNzvY-dxCNFKRal1bUzVChdvWMGZM_ARaRxzYB3IKekbi5gkEvctRA3IpW4S/s640/blogger-image-1998661096.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgne7_HM6BX5uUNBAizB4e8VFsL4rXuW-dQkLA-Ev8FoBOl2BkJgb3Sg1gklq-9Zp8NqnqmGwViejaVAl1SpNzvY-dxCNFKRal1bUzVChdvWMGZM_ARaRxzYB3IKekbi5gkEvctRA3IpW4S/s640/blogger-image-1998661096.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVbriKilEIrEbiLwJjNZJ1GLGp4nHQb33p1aDmMnfF3k_Mzs17bavgd6Rv5hHWvpWd6n8adZo-F6ZS2B202uyUQE4rnJzAX4SGU9xQFdY7zVZhsRrlRnACAhl2gOqRSSgjO9SAMwql9cj0/s640/blogger-image--1311421888.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVbriKilEIrEbiLwJjNZJ1GLGp4nHQb33p1aDmMnfF3k_Mzs17bavgd6Rv5hHWvpWd6n8adZo-F6ZS2B202uyUQE4rnJzAX4SGU9xQFdY7zVZhsRrlRnACAhl2gOqRSSgjO9SAMwql9cj0/s640/blogger-image--1311421888.jpg" /></a></div>Danielle M.
