Kid Dates

We were really missing our family and all the fun we have together after Christmas. So, we decided to have some intentional fun of our own. Each kid got their own date, customized to them. Rusty and I got a date too! First up, Rusty and Halle went to the Denver Museum of Nature and…

Fairview

Hi everyone, it’s Josh. Our overnight trip to Fairview was super fun and I had a great time. The whole Cornell family came! We started out by driving up to the cabin which took about two hours. When we got there we went into the cabin to check it out and decide where we were…

Glamping at Bear Lake

Halle here, reporting for blogging duty.  For a fun summer get away, Cornell cousins at bear lake!! The drive was long, so we broke it up with fun lunch at a park, then visiting some cool hobbit holes up Logan Canyon in a little hike. Everyone just loved to run around and explore. We stayed…
