Colorado

This summer's Colorado Adventure included Tennis Camp for Jacob.  GG & Grampy picked him up in Denver on Tuesday ~ and drove him to Colorado Springs on Sunday for a week of camp.  He had a great time, learned a lot & got loads of compliments.  The graduation ceremony was filled with proud mom moments.  Jacob was even named camper of the week for his good attitude and work ethic.  The most awesome part was that the director gave him his phone number and told him to call if he was interested in applying to be a counselor next summer.  "you would make a strong candidate"  Super Awesome!

While JB was a camp, Kirsten and I came out {my poor parents had to make another trip to Denver...and then another trip to Colorado Springs to pick up JB & then another trip to Denver to take us back to the airport...they are awesome}

We went on my favorite hike to Cataract Lake.  Went clockwise this time...have ALWAYS gone counter clockwise...it's a TOTALLY different hike going the other way.  AND due to all the rain, the flowers were amazing and everything was so GREEN.  GORGEOUS hike.

Frank, Kirsten, Jacob & me on our Jeep Adventure

We joined the Dillon Community Church Jeep Club for a great Jeep adventure over by Leadville {not exactly sure where we were}  We were by Camp Hood ~ so there were signs not to touch anything you found along the trail as it may be live ammo left over from the 10th mountain division training during WWII.   We Jeeped up to Slide Lake and then hiked the rest of the way.  Then we Jeeped back down & traveled Wurts Ditch.  It was a fun, muddy, steep trail and Jacob did a great job of putting up with back seat drivers & got a safely through!

The last day there we spent on Lake Dillon.  It was a beautiful day.  A little cloudy, a little sunny, a little rainy and fun.  You can see the rain cloud we boated around during the last hour.
