The Rockies

My man!
We were 12000 feet high I think. REALLY high. Really cold. REALLY beautiful!!

Oops. Dad got stuck in the snow! lol


Evil little girl. she was throwing these at people!

This is him actually getting stuck. He was smiling though!!

We climbed the mountain...

Hammock time for the girlies. Their little booms were touching the ground!

This is how I spent my days. See the coffee pot. That was mine. :)

They liked the fish! They wanted to touch the sliminess...just gross.

Faith reeled these in. They were HER fish.

Gracie caught this by herself! She is our little fisherwoman!

Her "house". She and Ellie spent their time in here!

This paragraph was supposed to be BEFORE the pictures, but I was too lazy to move them all...
Our little vacation was fantastic! The temperature hovered in the 60s during the day and high 30s when we rolled out of the tent in the mornings. We sat around the fire drinking coffee all day it seemed! I rarely, if ever, was seen without a book in my hand. I spent my lazy afternoons swinging in a hammock...oh the life! I really NEVER thought I would say this, but I cannot imagine a better vacation than camping. We didn't have to spend money to entertain ourselves, we didn't have to go anywhere, I didn't have to put make-up on or fix my hair. I got to drink coffee perked on an open fire any time I wanted and it wouldn't make me hot. It was really really great. Our girls played in their "house" or in the dirt all day long. Their imaginations ran away with them. They were dirtier than they ever are, but also so very happy! Here are few snapshots of our week. (I apologize to my sexy husband for not taking any pictures of him fly fishing, but I got a little bored, uncomfortable, and wet while trying to watch him catch a fish--even though he looked super cute in those waiter things!).
