I grew up with three half-siblings and three full siblings. I never knew we were a blended family until I got older. When I was six, my older half-sister had a daughter and I became an aunt at a young age. Again, I didn’t think this was unconventional. I was delighted to have more kids to play with! Family can come in many different types and structures. The point of my story is that no matter what your family looks like, the outdoors brings us together. There’s something about getting in the car and going on a trip that forces everyone to get along and have fun. I was delighted to share a trip to Bears Ears, a place near and dear to my heart, with my nieces and nephew, @anna.demonster, @liz.demonster and @elliotmg this weekend. @keen #keenambassador
