our 4 outdoors

Our family has always enjoyed getting outside, and we particularly enjoy exploring our nation's National Parks.  After spending 4 years living in the Dominican Republic teaching at a non-profit school, we gave ourselves a welcome home treat and spent two months touring Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain National Park, and the Big 5 Parks in Utah - Zion, Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, and Bryce Canyon.  Now we live in the Northwest within visiting distance of Glacier, Olympic, North Cascades and Mount Rainier NP.

More recently, our family with 4 kids (thus our name), became a family of 8 kids when we adopted 4 siblings from overseas.  As you can see, we love kids, and we love the outdoors.

We are excited to share what we have learned from all of our research and experience with you in this book series, published by Mountaineer Books, so that you too can have a memorable family vacation visiting these national treasures. If you'd like to learn more about us you can also visit our website dedicated to helping parents get their kids outside. You will find all sorts of free information and more at Our 4 Outdoors.
