Camping at Gross Reservior



This weekend we went camping again. Only this time we went to a place called Gross Reservoir. This is about 20 miles north west of Golden. We had such a great time. I must admit, the ride up there was not so fun for me at first. We had to use our 4x4 to get up there. Some of the roads were so bumpy, I thought for sure we were going to tip over! But of course, everything turned out just fine, and I actually enjoyed the ride back down. Brady was in heaven! He said to me that this was the reason we got an SUV. We got to the camp ground at about 4:30 and Greg, Stacy, Alli, and Tyler met us there at about 8:00. So we just set the tents up and played some games that night. The next day, the boys went fishing and the girls just hung out at camp playing more games. We set up Greg's slack line to walk across and Tyler tried it out. We got it on video.....So dang funny. The only bad thing about this place was there were no porter potties! We had to go in nature.....Which wasn't so bad for the boys because they can go whenever, wherever. Lucky guys. But we had such a great time and we are for sure going there again.

A Weekend in the Mountains



Over the holiday weekend we decided to go camping! Brady got a huge tent for Fathers Day so we needed to break it in sooner or later. We went up the Poudre Canyon to a place called the Narrows. Its about 30 minutes into the canyon. It is right on the river and so beautiful! When we got there, three of the best campsites were already spoken for but no one was even there! We were debating on whether or not to just set our tent up there ...But we didn't. So at about 10:30 at night we hear some people coming in....They were so loud!! Keep in mind Kailyn was already sleeping....So they set there tents up and were drinking there beer and just having a grand ol' time! Finally, Brady had to go over there and tell them to be quite. It turns out that one of the guys nailed his tent stake into the wood border and he was trying to get it out and hammer it back in. He was a little too drunk to know what was going on. Oh well....Kailyn did really well! I thought she would have some trouble sleeping, being too cold, too hot, too many bugs, loud people....But she did really well for her first time camping. She loved the sound of the river at night. She had no trouble falling asleep. We are planning alot of camping trips over the summer... So if anyone wants to go, let us know! ;)
