I'm late posting this, but it was still blog worthy. We are not a camping family unless you consider the times the kids sleep on the floor in each other's rooms. My idea of camping is a nice hotel near some open space. But, Doug has always wanted to take us all camping as a family and he got his wish when we were invited to join a group of friends for the weekend near Grand Lake.
We got lucky and the weather was perfect all weekend. We did a short hike up to Adams Falls, which was gorgeous, had a nice fire each morning and night, played games, swam in the lake, cooked some great meals and just enjoyed hanging out. The kids all got along great and our girls cried as we left because they didn't want to go. The kids (19 in all!) had all built a fort and a whole 'city' near our camping spot. With no electronic devices, TVs or anything of the sort, they were just kids for 3 days. Cooper got his fix of fires and the girls loved being helpers to some of the little girls.
All in all, it was just a great weekend and we are looking forward to it again next year! I know . . . I'm actually thinking camping wasn't half bad after all!
What a great venue! Nice work, Tirsa!!

If it resembles a raquet, Ben will find it
This is the fort the kids built all weekend (complete with a floral entry, thanks to the girls)

I think Carli and I missed the memo on wearing a plain, solid shirt.
Balancing on a rock while taking a family photo was not easy!
One of the great things about living in Colorado--gorgeous!!

We had such a great time and seeing the pics reminded me of that! I love how your kids played with my little ones. It was a priceless weekend!
I stole a few of your pics and put them on my blog. And as much as I complained about that one picture with me in it, I still put it on my blog because it is the only picture of the 5 of us.
Oh thanks a lot Tirsa, now that hideous pic of me is on two blogs.
Great Post Haley, it's making me excited about next year.
Wahoo!! Way to go,Haley. See? It's not so bad, is it? Although the hotel next to open space does sound nice. Especially if it has a day spa!
