Camping

This weekend, we forgot our camera everywhere we went. Sunday, after church, we came home and packed up the car. We headed up to Steamboat Lake State Park to camp. We found a camp site and got set up. They have like 200+ camp sites around there. We forgot a lighter or matches, so we had to borrow one from the people in the campsite just over from us. There was plenty of wood around. I guess a lot of the trees got infected with bugs or something and had to be cut come, so lots of available, already cut wood. We roasted marshmallows, which Ian loved, though he wouldn’t get too close to the fire because it was hot, which is a good thing. It was late by then, so we put out the fire and went to bed. Ian went to sleep pretty quickly. He was very excited to sleep in the tent. Jaiden took some convincing to get to sleep. Ian slept great all night. Jaiden slept okay, no worse or better than usual.

After breakfast in the morning, Rex and Ian went down to the lake to fish while I cleaned up some and waited for Jaiden to wake up. As soon as Jaiden woke up, we headed down to the lake to watch Rex fish. Ian had fun playing in the water at the edge. He had to change his clothes a couple times. Rex didn’t catch anything, but we had fun. We then headed back up to our campsite, had lunch and took down the tent. We packed up and then drove to Fish Creek Falls (part of Routt National Forest). We walked up the overlook trail, pretty easy since it is paved and not too steep. We then went on the other trail to the bridge (the rest of the trail went up on the other side so you could hike right by the falls). The falls were very pretty. We will have to go another time and remember our camera so we can get pictures of it.
