What a crazy time it has turned into since my last post! My 30 for 30 has definitely taken a little pause as a number of the items are really challenging when we're practicing safe at home. Recently, Colton and I were walking with Sailor and noticed a ton of litter. It's an eyesore and… Continue reading Lauren’s #24: Organize a clean-up event

Lauren’s #4: Ride an airboat in an alligator swamp
This may seem like a really, really random item to have on my list, but it was a MUST do while we're spending an extended period of time down in Florida. We have been talking about going on an airboat for years! My Grandparents have always encouraged us to go with them on the Everglades… Continue reading Lauren’s #4: Ride an airboat in an alligator swamp
Lauren’s #5: Volunteer at a cool event
A "cool" event? What constitutes that? Well, in my eyes it was a unique event that raised money for a good cause. I have had some really great experiences in the past volunteering and I knew that I wanted to document one of them in this year's 30 for 30 venture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB9fqX0lL88 We're currently spending… Continue reading Lauren’s #5: Volunteer at a cool event

Lauren’s #8: Take a class to learn something new
When making my 30 for 30 checklist, it wasn't all about doing things I've never done, or crazy stuff like skydiving. Colton and I both tried to think of thirty checklist items that we really cared about completing this year. By keeping my number 8 idea open-ended to "something new" I left myself with a… Continue reading Lauren’s #8: Take a class to learn something new
The Lock Family Evolution of Camping
In college, we took camping trips to visit beautiful destinations in the midwest. We tent camped because it was easy, affordable and a great way to experience nature. We took a trip to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan one summer that lead us to some seriously amazing destinations, but it also tested our communication and… Continue reading The Lock Family Evolution of Camping
