Mile: 108,112— at Pratt Nature Center.

Diane at Pratt Nature Center rocks! She had a Birds of Prey seminar where we got to learn about owls and hawks and see a bunch of them live and in person. We claimed some prey ourselves … chicken nuggets … after watching the show!

Irish Eyes be Smiling

Mile: 107,823

Well this is one of our most fun weeks! We got a new leprechaun blowup, even more green lights and plenty of swag to hand out!

Ice Fishin

Ice Fishin

Mile: 107,388

This was a little frigid adventure. Jackson’s buddy Chris took him out ice fishin and set up his new hut on the ice. I think Jackson thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations. What do you think?

He also got in a little science learning too as you can see in the video in the comments.

Mile: 107,380 Well … all good things must come to an end… but not before the Christmas Cowboy got a few more nights in! After delighting Ole Red, we had altitude fun with Papa on a new site. Nothing like digging in some rock and…
