Boulder Mountain Camping

We were able to take the kids camping over fall break. We went with our cousins and we had a fabulous time.  The weather was very interesting, but we managed to survive.

 This is the first night we arrives in the boulder mountains.  The skies were gray, the air was chilly, but we bundled up the kids and went on ranger rides and did a little fishing.

This is the weather we woke up to the next morning!  SNOW!  We knew it was going to be cold and maybe rain, but SNOW!  We were not prepared.  The kids thought it was wonderful and did not let the snow stop them from going out and having a great time.

Since we were there to go fishing, we decided to  bundle up and make the most of it!
IT WAS FREEZING!  When we got on top of the mountain, their was a good 12 foot of snow.

 Tobin was all snuggled up and even managed to sleep somehow.

 Sadie was to COLD, to take pictures.  Notice Mitchell in the background. He went out hunting for fire wood to make a fire to help us try to stay warm.

 The boys did get a fire, but we still froze so we decided to head back to camp, get warm and watch a video in the trailer.

 The next day, the snow had melted at camp.  All but this ONE big snowball the kids had made the day before.  It kept these 3 little ones busy for hours.

 This was the weather our last day!  WHAT???? Where has this weather been all week?  It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!  We could have stayed here for another week!

This was like a little piece of HEAVEN.  

We had a wonderful and an adventurous  camping trip to say the least.  We love spending time together in the GREAT OUTDOORS!  

Until next year.
