Camping 2011 #2 Taylors Falls

On Memorial Day weekend we went camping at Taylors Falls.



Great hiking trails and beautiful scenery


Nothing like eating pancakes on the river!



Yes, the guard dog came along.


Saturday, Jenna and the kids came up to camp with us.






Jace and I tried out the canoe. The river was running fast so we had to paddle FASTER!



We stopped to check out some rocks and Jace asked me what was their name. I told him I didn't know and asked if he did. He thought about it for a moment and said "I think its 'Canadian Rock'". Sounds good to me!


Yes there is a bird in this picture.


Can you find it too?

And then the fights begins!

Camping 2011 #1

Jace and I decided to try out the pop up camper by doing a test night out in the front yard.




Brynn's been watching a little to much All Star Wrestling!


Gotta try out the bubble gun.


OK, let's light up a camp fire!



Washing up before bed time


Nothing better then sleeping in the great outdoors! (or the front yard)


It's morning! I think we should do this again.

Christmas CU Buffs Style

We missed having Chad and Megan for Christmas, however we sure enjoyed opening the presents they the sent to us from Colorado. If you haven't already noticed they are big CU Buffs fans and now so are we!
Jace loved his Toy Story sleeping bag and HAD to try it out!





Thanks Chad & Megan. We love all the gifts!
