We love having family game nights. You can even find pieces of leftover yard games and impromptu obstacles courses in our backyard. No kidding on more than one occasion my husband has created obstacle courses that rival American Ninja Warrior. My kids are just like him and love making games up, and I enjoy watching them. Typically I watch everyone else participate and then I go last, I feel like it might give me an advantage but I always end up losing.

My kids love creating snacks, and most of the time that consists of them throwing all their favorite ingredients together and making up a name. My friend Sarah makes a fun trail mix, and it is oh, so good. So we decided to make our own version. We went with Horsetooth Trail Mix because Horsetooth Rock is a local hike that my kids and I did last year.
