Labor Day Camping

We took advantage of the Labor Day weekend and the nice weather to go camping. Unfortunately since Mommy was not on the ball and didn't reserve a camp ground weeks in advance, it took forever to find an available camp site. It is unbelievable the amount of people in Colorado who were camping this past weekend...I am talking like thousands of people. Well, anyhoo we ended up at a campsite in green mountain falls which is a beautiful area just at the base of Pikes Peak. We were truly roughing it with a bathroom facility, pool and club house that served a pancake breakfast! The kids had a blast and really enjoyed sleeping out in the tent. Kaleb was hoping to get a glimpse of a bear but he was disappointed and had to settle with only a raccoon sighting. Here is dad putting up the tent, and the kids enjoying the finished product.


The kids had a really great time in the pool and were really played well together. These are the moments you cherish because you know they can be few and far between. Here are some great shots of Kaleb carrying his sister around the pool on his back.

Jet had a blast with all the smells and sounds. Unfortunately he still can not be trusted off a leash, but we have a 50 foot lead which allowed him to explore a bit.

We enjoyed some quality family time and even had a couple of hands of go fish. Here is one of Shawn's "creative shots" of Skyler through the eye of the coffe cup. And of course a picture of Kaleb who is forever cheeeesing. My boy!

I am looking forward to many more camping trips in our future.
