Hey, Shayna here. I am so many things but the overwhelming part of my identity right now is MOM. I have 4 veryrambunctious,crazy,noisy, spirited children and while I enjoy a good girls night out or even the coveted adults only date nights, the majority of my time is spent with the family. I am starting this blog becauseI need more attention,I like to write, I want to log where we go and how easy or not easy it was to take the kids...aka "family friendly". This is not the same as "kid friendly". I have been to my share of kid friendly places that offer very (very) little for mom and dad. Just remember that my point system is highly influenced by a) my mood that day, b)the environmental conditions that only God controls (i.e. weather) and c)how much fighting there was in the car on the way to the location so this is very very very unscientific. Enjoy!

Chautauqua Park- Boulder, CO
Chautauqua
Overall: 9
Price: 10
Kid Friendly: 9
Parent Friendly: 9
Easy Access: 7
I would put Chautauqua (Shuh-talk-wuh) on my top 10 must do's in Boulder CO whether you are on a family trip or an adults only trip. The views are amazing, the paths are friendly (unless you are new to trail running and you want to see how many times you can "run" up and down the trail...but thats a story for a different blog), the parking is....

Kid Friendly: 7
Parent Friendly: 8
Easy Access: 8
This game was introduced to me a few years ago by one of my good grade school friends (that miraculously we keep in contact even though she doesn't have Facebook!) The game itself is super simple to pick up, the scoring is a little tricky.

Bear World- Idaho
Bear World- Idaho
Overall:7
Price: 4
Kid Friendly: 8
Parent Friendly: 8
Easy Access: 7
So Bear World is off of Highway 20 in Idaho (going from Idaho Falls to Island Park) and from the highway it looks very underwhelming. BUT it was such a cool place. You start out by driving your own car through the park and you see buffalo and elk and goats and then you get to the bears! And there are TONS of them. It would be virtually impossible

Ok, We have been to Brighton a few times as a family and its a good thing, because if my ratings were based on just the last time we went, the score would be lower 👎. We recently went on New Years eve and the lines for the beginner lift were unbearably looonnnggg. What kills is

Overall Score: 8
Price: 8
Kid Friendly: 8
Parent Friendly: 8
Easy Access: 6
I love me some Idaho, but I am woman enough to admit that the Utah side of Bear Lake is wwwaaaaayyyyy better! This is the view coming off the hill on the drive from Logan to Bear Lake. It is this little aqua oasis after driving through one of the most beautiful canyons ever (Logan canyon). It is the kind of water that screams:
