Last weekend we had a blast with some good friends of ours (the Hansens and the Heisers) camping down in Pike's Forest. We relaxed, did some fishing, some biking, visited the largest fossil deposit in the US, checked out the petrified forests of Colorado, explored the Garden of the Gods and had lots of camp fires and hammock time. The banana boats, peach cobbler and roasted starburst were all huge hits of course. We attended church in Woodland Park, just 4 miles away from camp, smelling of campfire. I am sure we were quite noticable. Fun stuff.
Two weeks earlier we spent the weekend up in Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP). We got totally rained on and spent some time in the trailer playing games. We did take advantage of the breaks in the weather to get up close and personal with the Elk. The kids got to play on some rocks and we all had a great time despite all the rain. It did clear up enough for us to pack up dry on Sunday. Just one more little blessing in our lives.
