Fulltime Families Summer Scavenger Hunt This summer we have had an awesome time as a family participating in the Fulltime Families Summer Scavenger Hunt sponsored by Lazydays the RV Authority! My friends have noticed all the fun pictures on Facebook and want to know where they can find the lists for each week! With permission from Fulltime Families I have printed them below and a free printable PDF is coming! While this was done online it can easily be translated to an offline game between friends or a group! It was so much fun! We still have one more week left to go, so I will update week 4 when…

Cheaha State Park in the Fall!
Mt. Cheaha State Park, Alabama! We are back in Alabama! We decided to revisit one of our favorite spots! Mt. Cheaha State Park! I wrote a blog post about it HERE back in August. The fall colors are starting to shine through now and the park was packed with people wanting to look out over the valley to see the fall beauty! Cheaha State Park offers a unique opportunity for home school families. Along the trail there are numerous information kiosks that identify geophysical and biological features of the area. Whether traveling for exercise or education, it is definitely an exciting trip that we will make again. While “off the…

Cheyenne Botanic Gardens Cheyenne, Wyoming
a style=”text-align: center;” href=”http://happilyuprooted.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/DSC_0251.jpg”> Number one on our Cheyenne, Wyoming Bucket List is the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens! The boys and I decided to check it out while Patrick was at work. The gardens were beautiful and well kept, but what the kids REALLY loved was the Paul Smith Children’s Village. As we entered the children’s village we were met with blooming flower, plant, and vegetable gardens! The three-quarter acre piece of land was jam-packed with interactive things for children to do! The 1930’s era building located in the rear of the gardens has an old rock wall attached to it that forms the “secret garden”. Even as an adult it felt…

Chocolate 3 Ingredient Muffins (With Secret Ingredient)!
My family LOVES these muffins! I love that they are ONLY three ingredients and they have a hidden ingredient that nobody will know is there! Pumpkin!! There is no oil or eggs in this recipe! Just water, pumpkin, cake mix and chocolate! They are so much better for you and I promise you can’t even taste the pumpkin! Plus, if you are on weight watchers, these have a low points value! Chocolate 3 ingredient muffins 1 boxed chocolate cake mix (I used sugar free) 1 small can of pumpkin puree 15 ounce 6 ounces of chocolate chips **MAKES 48 mini cupcakes** Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Mix together cake…

Ticks, Trees and Tennessee!
Ticks, Trees and Tennessee! We are here in Tennessee and I would like to say we are loving it, but love is not the word I would use to describe our time here in Tennessee! We drove out here with the expectations of really liking it. We set up at Arnold AFB and got settled in. The longer we are here the longer the tall, tall trees start to close in on us! We were told how beautiful Tennessee is and how we were going to like it. Even though what you can see of it is pretty, we long for wide open spaces and distant scenery. The number one…

Hill Air Force Base, Utah
So far we really like Hill Air Force Base, Utah. We stay at Fam Camps since we are military affiliated. This family camp is acceptable. The camp host is a little lazy and things do not get done in a timely manner, but the sites are level and it is in a great location. We are across the street from the gym, next to the track and field as well as next to the playground and splash park… which would be convenient if it weren’t in the 30’s outside! We have met some great people here so far and are looking forward to meeting more! The boys are loving the snow… and…
