COLORADO CAMPIN'

For the past few years my parents have pulled their camp trailer to this RV park in Colorado to camp for 2 weeks with my mom's parents and her Uncle Roy & Aunt Debbie. I haven't yet had the opportunity to go until this year! I drove up on Friday with my grandma & grandpa and was able to stay for the weekend. The only way I'll camp is if it's in a trailer or a cabin so this was perfect! We had no cell phone service up there which was a little rough but I survived!:)

We did a lot of relaxing!!:)

This is my Uncle Roy & Aunt Debbie who live in Texas. They're awesome people and tons of fun! I don't get to see them enough.

Some of us campers really love smores! We ate a few too many and really made an ooie gooey yummy mess!:)


This is the perfect picture of my mom stuffing a perfectly golden brown marshmallow into her mouth.:)

My dad loves to go fishing and has this cute little fishing boat so I decided that this was the year I'd learn how to fish! I bought myself a one day fishing license (and took a picture with it because I knew my husband would be proud) and ventured out very early Saturday morning with grandpa Larry & my dad. After I about froze to death then eventually warmed up when the sun came out, I had tons of fun!!! I love fishing......who woulda known!:) Beginners luck was with me that day too because I caught 5 fish while my grandpa caught 4 and dad 3. I'm convinced I need to buy a pink fishing pole and cute little tackle box and begin my career as a fisherman.:)

Sunday evening my mom, Aunt Debbie and I were feeling a little creative so we decided to add our own rock to the campsite rock garden. We borrowed the paint from the office and went to work! We think they turned out really cute too!



Three days of relaxing, playing cards, fishing, cooking in the great outdoors and smelling nature was perfect for me. They have already reserved their camp spots for next year and I'm hoping that I will be able to take Bryce up there to enjoy it with me!

That sounds like so much fun! I'm so jealous that your parents go and do that every year. You and Bryce should definently go with them next year. I agree that the only way to camp is in a camp trailer. It helps keeps the critters and spiders away!

I wish we could have gone this year. I love going camping with your parents because they do most of the work - well all of the work.

Britt you are so funny. I totally think we should invent a pink tackle box with matching pole maybe even pink fishing line ummm. The rock collection is very pleasing to the eyes. Looks so fun I love camping especially with a trialer huh?

It looks beautiful on that lake! It makes me miss Kamas a lot! It looks like a lot of fun. I seriously cannot wait till next week!!!!!!! Have you talked to anyone else?

Cheyn said...

That is a lot of rocks you guys painted! Just one question though, did you bait the hook and take the fish off? Ha ha the only way I'll fish is if someone else does ALL of the work. Looks like fun out there and your hair doesn't even look like you've camped on it

looks like you had a ton of fun! so when are you going back to your hubby? well anyway hopefully I will see you one more time before you leave!

Noelle said...

Fun! I love camping. We're getting a trailer and I'm way excited. I told my husband I could only go camping with a trailer because pregnant, a baby, and a tent just doesn't sound like fun!

It looks like someone is having a fun summer! How the heck are you? I'm feeling pretty good so far. The baby is expected to come on Thursday... we'll see. I'll keep you posted.
