Tonight we hiked alongside a mountain creek leading to #roughlockfalls, Henry dipped his toes - and head! - in the freezing water above the falls, and Evan said yes to a ride down a natural (mini) rock water slide (#devilsbathtub)! I think they might have a little Black Hills in their blood too! #piersonsinthehills
We didn't get enough of the Black Hills three weeks ago so we're back for round two! 😂This time with Evan's family! I've spent almost every summer of my childhood here (parents' home town) so it's especially fun to bring the little guy back to my old stomping ground. This #artalley wasn't around back in the day but what a cool backdrop for some cousin photos! #piersonsinthehills @riledupriles22
.... ready, set, glide! Training for the Strider Cup! Seriously though, I think his early bday gift (thanks @riledupriles22 and Tessa!) was also a gift to me because it finally gets me running again just trying to keep up! 😅🚴🏻🏃🏻♀️#striderbike #balancebike #doesnthelookfive? #hesnoteventhree #lookmomnofeet
I was in such a meal rut until I remembered this easy summer dish my friend whipped up for a crowd a couple years ago. Julienned zucchini and carrots (or zoodles?) sautéed with onion and garlic, then add cherry tomatoes; push to the side and scramble one egg, mix in egg, add a touch of pesto, top with feta. 👌🏻Thanks for the colorful dinner @the_merc_index ! #tastetherainbow
How he loves the turtle bank his great grandpa made (that may encourage potty training?🤞🏻); spontaneously thanks people - for buying this book grandpa, for making this food mommy; can remember events from a year ago like he's a wizard; and sometimes actually looks a little like me! #thingsiwanttoremember (and yes that's a sweater in July - we were in the basement today because #progress! 🔨)
Pretty sure I'd choose a dip in an icy cold mountain creek over a fancy swimming pool any day.
Quite possibly the most beautiful location for a wedding. What this photo fails to capture is that quintessential Black Hills scent of pine mixed with dry, red mica-flecked dirt that has me all 👃🏻🤗🙌🏻 . #HappilyEverHansen #blackhillswedding #sunsetinthehills
Look at that mountain! He kept saying. They all tucked in! Toddler wisdom. 😂
When you travel with little ones you don't exactly get to sleep in and wake up slowly to your new surroundings with a (quiet) cup of coffee. Instead, you jump right into exploring! Today that meant waking up lake-side and watching the geese from the dock before anyone else was up. Not such a bad trade. And after nap, we're heading into the hills! #blackhillsmorning #canyonlakesd
Watching the 🌊
