Camping Near Estes Park

The kids and I drove up to Covenant Heights Retreat Center last weekend for two nights of camping. It was awesome! Had a little bit of rain both nights - but not too bad. We fished in the lake at the camp - and the kids had a blast in the canoes, kayaks and paddleboats. The lake is normally catch and release, but the last day we were there we were told by the camp director to keep whatever we caught because they are going to be draining the lake in a few weeks for some bulldozing work at one end. Sweet!!! Fresh trout dinner when we got back to Littleton.

We also took a drive into Estes Park on Saturday. Crazy traffic!!!

Rockies Dodgers Game with the Cousins

My brother-in-law Kevin drove out from Chicago with Haley and Ethan to spend a week in Colorado - and to help his mom move the rest of her stuff into her new condo. We all got together to go see the Rockies play the Dodgers - with Kevin's two sisters Kari and Kathi and their families - - - 17 all together! Can't beat those $4 Rockpile seats! Rocks won!!!
