Today a group of moms from Sophie's kindergarten class rounded up our kiddos and siblings and treked up to the Mountain Park Environmental Center (MPEC). Such a sweet group of children. We sat around the fire, listened to Ranger Matt talk about animals skulls and furs, sang song with Ranger Dave, had a picnic, played outside and took a hike down to the creek and pond. Such a great day! Thank you MPEC!

Hi. My name is Megan and I'm a mom to three little ones in Pueblo, Colorado. My husband is a native of Costa Rica and we are proud to be raising our kids to love their multi-cultural heritage. As a born and bred Coloradoan, I'm committed to helping make this community be an even better place to live for my kids and loved ones. For me, this has meant getting involved in promoting local walkability and bikability issues that can help make us all healthier, happier, and more connected to one another. It also means getting out often and enjoying as much of our local community as we can. This blog chronicles our life doing both in and around Pueblo.
