Quinn’s first day in the beesuit only lasted one set of hives, but a great experience. A beautiful day on the farm. 💚
Last national park of the trip! I always love seeing the sprawling landscapes of Badlands National Park. Once we passed the bison Quinn quickly fell asleep. Nine national parks in nine days through the US and Canada. Now for the home stretch. 💚
Quinn had her first public inconsolable meltdown at almost 2 years of age. She chose to make the occasion as memorable as possible. On a cave tour at Wind Cave National Park with 15 strangers in a chamber that had maximum echoing effect. She thankfully fell asleep as soon as we started walking to the next chamber, after about 10 minutes of stretching her vocal cords. Memories.
Operation Move Samuel, Kara, and Ty Home continues with stops in four national parks, Kootney National Park, Waterton Lakes National Park, Glacier National Park, and Yellowstone National Park. Quinn is thankfully feeling better and loving spotting all of the wildlife. She’s constantly yelling at the bison to not poop in her boots. 🤷🏻‍♀️ She also decidedly dislikes wind yelling every time she gets out of the car for the wind to get out of her way, over and over again.
