finally! i have a couple minutes to blog about our vacation that happened almost 2 weeks ago!

we headed to Ridgeway to camp in the beautiful state of Colorado

we left around 4 am with a car packed to the brim and 3 sleepy children, well 2 kids and i dog ;)

this was my view most of the time during our 14 hour drive

my feet love the window shield and sam loves cleaning my toe prints off ;)

we spent the first night at my Dad's who lives a quick 15 minutes from our campgound

he had a surprise birthday bash for the big 6-0!!!

the next day we headed to Pa-Co-Chu-Puk {Cow Creek} where we set up camp

our camp site was right on the river, hearing the rush of the water through out the day and night was oh so relaxing :)

Mickey even had his own special little spot in the shade, and had the time of his life

so many new smells and sounds to explore

and hey even a deer ran through our site!!

down to the swim area of the resevoir

the kids have never swam in a lake before

so a body of water in nature without waves was new

but very exciting

beautiful blue skies and green trees surrounded us everywhere

the view of the river from our campsite

it was so neat to be able to wake up and walk a few steps to fish!

there was a lot of s'more making and eating

a lot of sweeping and fishing

and a lot of card games, bug spray, and sunscreen

there ya have it

we love camping

such fun family time!!

and p.s.
