Just an afternoon at the park. The kids had a great time and a small herd of young bucks wandered by. We all loved seeing them...
Our Campsite! We looked out onto the 2 fishing lakes and Canadian Geese that inhabit the area. We got two spots so as to have a place to park the cars behind us all. David, the boys and girls, dogs and I slept in our tent (red one). Bonnie, her girls and Kristina slept in the blue tent (borrowed from Jan!).Unfortunately the two fishing poles the boys got were both broken. So no fishing this trip. But next time we'll be better prepared. The kids did get to feed the geese and run all over the campground, which of course kept them all entertained and busy for quite some time.
Last night shortly after we all went to bed a cold front moved in and the winds started up. I woke up to our tent whipping back and forth but still left the windows open so as to keep cool. Sometime after that the temps dropped and the winds whipped up into a fury at which point I closed the windows. Believe it or not the tents held and we all stayed warm. Not necessarily rested, but warm. We did sleep off and on after getting used to the sound of the tents whipping around. I guess around 5:30 a.m. I headed off to the bathrooms with Kristina and got to see other tents in the same condition as our own. Battered... but still standing. We loved it all! Everything about this adventure was a plus in our minds. Now as for really camping out in the wilds of Colorado? Well I don't know about that. But I sure did enjoy the campground with its amenities and scenery. Thank you to Carrie, Cole and everyone out at the "Golden Eagle Campground" for a great experience.
Olivia checking out the tents again. She was so impressed that we had tents to sleep in. Of course....... so was I! Everyone seemed to like the fact that they had somewhere to hide for time out or just to relax. See Max in the tent?
Some of the neighbors...
Bonnie attempting to show me how to start a fire for cooking. Please remember that I said attempting...
Carrie and Anika joined us for S'Mores last night. We so enjoyed seeing them and getting to see Anika and how much she has grown. This is Carrie getting ready to enjoy her S'More.
