Easter

Yeah camping season! We officially kicked off our camping season with our annual trip to cherry creek. It is loads of fun and we have some great friends to enjoy our time with. Here are some pics:


Hey, they asked for it.


This is my friend Lori rolling down the hill, you should have seen her by the time she reached the bottom.



One of the fun things we do is go out to "sand hill", (not really the formal name, just what my kids know it as) then the kids scoot down the hill to make a path. They then roll a colored egg down the hill to see who wins.



Steve wanted me to add a picture of what our camping area looked like. Not the most beautiful place to everyone, but at 60 degrees each day, it was heaven to us.


Look, I put a picture of myself on here!

One of the traditions we have latched on to is the big easter egg hunt. A few designated parents take the kids on a ride (or hike this year), then the "easter bunny" visits our camping area.

Colby is desperately trying to find the most candy.


Marissa is on the hunt.


The little ones are getting ready for the big easter egg hunt. That's Colin in the middle.


The Easter Bunny visits us in our trailer!

All in all a great weekend, we always dread coming home. But hey, if we didn't work so hard the rest of the time, I don't think we would appreciate weekends like that as much.

I love that you are so outdoorsy Leah! And really cute pictures of you! I can't believe how big your kids are. So crazy.

That's a super cool tradition. We haven't come up with anything cool like that yet. Give us a couple years!

Warm weather, good company, and I assume good food too. It sounds like fun. I'm glad it turned out well and you had fun.

Leah, your kids are going to have such good memories of their childhood. You and Steve are awesome parents!

Aww, I wanna camp too!. Still a little too cold in the rockies for the family. Maybe in a couple of weeks!

What does that 60-degrees-is-heaven statement mean? That 60 degrees is warm, or that you guys like the cold? To me, 60 degrees is COLD!! I'm guessing you guys wear shorts when it hits 60, though, huh? :)

60 is warm after a very long winter. Notice we only need sweatshirts, that is a big deal!
