We’ve always loved getting outside. It’s really the only way to stay sane living in Utah in the winter.
We really catered our winter #PARRISHFAMBUCKETLIST to enstill #GOATworth moments with the boys!
I love any excuse to explore our new neighborhood + so we thought it would be fun to show the boys how superheros really walk on snow.

SNOWSHOES

Our best friends live in Mtn Green, so we journey up the Weber canyon often, but don’t verge from our main trails.

And somehow it’s stillllllll January? 🙃Has this not been the longest January of all time everrrr?

It’s easy to feel like you’re on house arrest during January/February when temps are looooow.

But this year we made it a family goal to get outside – no matter the weather.

Our year of adventure has taken us to the desert + the snow – just this month!

A couple feet of fresh powder, gear that’s built to keep us warm + all the white hot chocolate we could sneak in between runs made this an epic day on the slopes!

As a family, Jon + I have chosen a lot of different experiences + family traditions that we hope really shape our boys as they grow.

As long as I have known Jon, he’s been dreaming of owning a Sprinter Van. It’s one of the big bolded items on our family bucket list! THE DAY IS HEREEEEE. We own a sprinter + the adventures have begunnnn.

Blanket | beanie | jacket

Jon’s jacket | hammock | jack

Backcountry challenged us to create our outdoors GOAT (greatest of all time) moment + holy crap our minds have been racing.

10 things to take on every camping trip: besides 10 separate hats? Hahah crazy hat lady probs. But now that the weather is cooling down a bit, the leaves are starting to turn, I challenge you to sneak in a quick overnight trip with your family if you have access!!! Ahhhh it’s sooooo pretty right now.
The only thing (aside from family) that keeps us from moving to the beach is these incredible mountains that we call home!

SUPRISE!!
But no one guessed it! HOW?! This place was LEGIT INCREDIBLEEEE.
I put up an e-guide + an hour social media consult for the first human to guess where we were headed for Memorial Day. On this IG post. But no prevail. 🙂 Better luck next trip I guess. We’ve had Capitol Reef on our #PARRISHFAMBUCKETLIST forever. We’ve heard that it’s not quite as busy as the other popular stops, which lead us to the perfect time to go: MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.

HAPPPPY NEW YEAR!!
Can you believe these little groms made it to midnight to ring in the New Year last night?
We even did a fake ball drop around 9:30.

We were a little nervous to break in their boards for the first time on 6 hours of sleep – – –  uhh hello, they ARE NATURALS. But wait. Why am I surprised again?!? They are Jon Parrish offspring. Sometimes I forget how humble he is.

We’ve had our pop up trailer for a month or so now? Maybe a bit longer, but HELLO, best investment so far as parents! HANDS DOWN.  Fresh air, warm beds, Jonah’s campfire stories + PB&Js sure making me smile tonight.

All the camp sites we were planning on staying in for Fathers Day were full by Friday afternoon, so we faced a bit of an adventure head on + stumbled upon a gold mine while we were at it.
