So after three years, we decided it was high time to do some camping again. Given the fire bans in most of the state, we had to head to the mountains to be able to have a camp fire, because, let's face it, camping with out a fire is just pointless.
We drove through a downpour in Georgetown before getting to our camp spot near Lake Dillon. It rained heavy, then light, then stopped, then it repeated the cycle before the finally clearing for the night. Luckily we didn't get too wet.
The Cowan's are such good friends, and the kids get along so well. It was nice to have the kids keep themselves entertained for most of the trip.
Stacie and Tracie took care of all the details, including some delicious dutch oven meals. Teriyaki chicken and bacon potatoes for dinner. Peach cobbler and ice cream for dessert. Scrambled eggs, biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast.
The coals made for a nice start to this no-match fire. It was nice to sit around and chat while Connor learned how to climb out of his pack and play. We'll see if he starts daring to do the same thing in the crib...
Maybe I should have added a jacket to the gear that we packed, but a Tough Mudder shirt and some cuddly kids kept me warm all night.
We didn't finish the ice cream on Friday night, so the Saturday morning menu also included some 'shakes'. I think the mustaches were better than the drinks.
Jon, got milk?
Connor, got scowl?
Glenn brought up his gun, and on Saturday morning we went shooting. Tracie had a lot of fun.
Great shooting the first time.
Even better the second round. Just another reason that I'll never spurn this woman! Love you!!!
Looking forward to our next trip in 2016!!

I never would have thought Tracie grew up in the city/California! :)
