Summer Adventures with Backcountry

Summer Adventures with Backcountry

Sponsored by Backcountry + ShopStyle

EEEEEEK! You guys, my backpacking trip is sneaking up on me and I’m low-key freaking out… I’m going with a bunch of amazing women and I’m so excited but also so nervous!How in the world has summer gone by SO fast?!?! Like it shocks me and makes me want to cry all at the same time. We have had SO much fun though.. even with a broken ankle going down (for Emery!)..  We haven’t wasted a day of it and I love that!

I loooove working with Backcountry. Want to know why? Because I have personally shopped there for as long as I can remember (it was my dad’s favorite place to shop growing up too!) and so when they asked if I wanted to share some favorite things for summer, I can easily just go through my closet and show you them! 

Pennie and I go on walks by the lake constantly.. It is her favorite thing to do lately! I love it too..

The Stanley water bottle of my dreams. 64 ounces and has a handle.. Oh and it keeps ice in it for DAYS. Literal DAYS. Whenever we go out somewhere I load it full of ice and water and it does turn into the family community bottle but oh well. We love it. There is also a 40 ounce version too.

After 5 years, I have finally got a second pair of my favorite Pons shoes. My first ones are so broken in and comfy .. I didn’t want to get another pair til they totally fell apart but then I saw this new creamy color and fell in love! My last pair took me through Thailand, Peru, Europe and allll over the United States and they are still one of my favorite pair of shoes. They are definitely my most worn sandal in my closet!

This summer, we have gone to Mexico, gone boating, gone to southern Utah and swam in the red rocks, went boating, went hiking in Idaho.. and want to know what all of those things had in common?! I had to pack items from Backcountry for all of them!

If your man wants theeeee best sling to carry around his (cough.. & my!!) stuff around in, get him this Patagonia one! B got this for Thailand a few years ago and still uses it CONSTANTLY. It doesn’t feel big and bulky at all which I love when we go on hikes with the kids. Comes in a few cute colors too.

The YETI cooler of all Yeti Coolers. 

I got Braun this year after our Yellowstone trip. So many people there were carrying around these on their backs & I hadn’t gotten him an anniversary gift yet so I came home and surprised him with it. We have taken it on every trip to Southern Utah since. It is perfect size.. And has backpack straps which is really nice!

My girls and I both love these rubbery sandals  for tubing the river!
