Scout Camp

Cale and I recently spent a few days at the Cub Scout camp near Red Feather. He earned the right to own and carry a pocket knife. Watch your backs!

Happy Birthday Aden

Vacation Day 4 an 5

The 4th day of vacation was camping at Trappers Lake just outside the Flat Tops Wilderness. Sadly, Maya had a fever and a stomach ache so we only stayed one night. Also, despite the pictures, there was a decent amount of rain in the afternoon and over night. The next morning looked foreboding so it may have been for the best anyway.

Vacation Day 3

On the third day of our vacation we took a gondola up to the top of the ski area. Aden said he was 'freaked out'. On the top of the mountain we hiked around, admired bear scat, and discussed why we aren't skiers. Why don't they make giant winter resorts just for sledding?

Vacation Day 2

Day 2 of our vacation was busy. After our run in with the bear we went for a brief hike to an overlook at Fish Creek Falls. We then hiked to the base. It's no secret that there is a lot of water in Colorado this year and it can be a bit nerve racking have children near it. After the hike we played a round of mini-golf which was equally nerve racking but for different reasons. We then went back to the hotel for some swimming. That was followed by a trip to see Cars 2 followed by dinner at one of those 'diners' that pretends to be from the 50s. Finally, we returned to the falls to get a view in the evening light.
