Colorado Part 1

Well we returned home from the San Isabel National Forest tues. evening. The trip seriously went way too fast. The girls, however, were ready to be home. The trip out took 12hrs & only 11hrs on the way home. They did awesome in the car. Could not have begged for them to be any better. Gentry ended up getting a major cold and more teething the day before we left. So we dealt with breathing treatments, a raw, runny, bloody nose and diapers I won't even speak of. But even through that she was a trooper. Kennedy maintained grouch mode very well the first two days and then started to come out of her shell the last two just in time to enjoy it a little bit. Here are just a few pics to get you started............

Sitting around the campfire

Good Morning Colorado air!

Gentry digging in the rocks and dirt. She loved this and so did her sis. However my washing machine is currently screaming "NO".

The beautiful Colorado sun.

Humming birds fly rampid out there. They dive bomb you if you wear bright colors.

This mountain was behind our camp. And that my fellow bloggers is the big dipper. We got to see this almost every night. And it was breath takingly awesome.

We did some mountain driving and drove over some passes. The views are unbelievable. You know only God could have created something that is so ominous yet beautiful at the same time.
If Dana didn't have his eyes closed in this picture it would be a perfect one of these two.

Gentry didn't make it in this picture. She was sleeping in the explorer. And she didn't get much sleep on this trip (along w/ her sister) so any shut eye was well treasured.

This picture could have been really good. Except for my hair......in Dana's face. Should have tied it back! Although it is kind of funny.

These are our campers. There were actually four, you just cant see them all in the pic. And these mountains were what we got to look at everyday from our campsite.

The river water by our camp is snow run off so obviously it is ice cold. I couldn't even keep my hand in for 10 seconds. My daughter however seemed to not notice the water temp. She was even sticking her head in it.
