Wandering Past Limits

A week ago, I had the opportunity to visit Portland with Katie to judge an aerial competition.

We hiked the Cascade Head Trail with our friend Erica, who just happened to be there at the same time. The trail winds through lush coastal forest and opens up to incredible ocean views along the Oregon coast.

And then we saw a pod of whales right off the shoreline. One of those moments that just stops you in your tracks.
This trip felt grounding and restorative. I’ve really been missing the trees, and this was a reminder of how much I need nature.

When people ask me what there is to do in Sioux Fall, I realized I haven’t been very good about sharing lately 🙈

Since we’ve moved back, we’ve been getting out and exploring again, and here are a couple fun places we’ve been to recently:

• Sky Zone Trampoline Park – Always a hit. High energy, fun for the kids, and a great way to burn off some energy

• Reptile Adventure Zoo – This one is new and such a cool experience. You can get up close with reptiles, and they even have interactive exhibits and animals you can hold. Definitely something different and fun to check out.

I’m making it a goal to start sharing more local things again because there’s actually a lot to do here, I've just been off (and grumpy/sad) with all of the changes in the past few months.

Moments like this are what Wandering Past Limits is all about. Stepping outside comfort zones, embracing new experiences, and letting real life be the classroom. Watching Lylah take this leap was a beautiful reminder that confidence and growth are built by saying yes.
