Sledding in Colorado

Took the boys sledding today - fun, fun, fun! They had a wonderful time - I got some great pictures. Several of the kids had made hills at the bottom of the sled hills and the kids were jumping over them as soon as their sleds hit them. It was hilarious! My husband gave it a try and I have a great picture of just his feet in the air. Some of those little kids ended up going quite a bit further and hearing the laughter was just the topping on all of this for my husband and I. As long as you have the appropriate gloves, hats and boots - you just don't get cold.

Camping in Colorado

I thought it would be fun to post our favorite camping areas in Colorado. We live in a beautiful state and we love camping here. We started camping in a tent and then we went to a Coleman pop-up camper. We are now using a Trailmanor hard sided pop up camper - I love it! We use www.reserveamerica.com to make reservations in some spots and we also have the book, Colorado Campgrounds: The 100 Best and All the Rest . We normally do not use the camp grounds in the book as they are geared more towards areas without lots of trees. However, we do go to the areas around the recommended campgrounds and find our own favorites. :) Our favorite places are Mueller State Park, Leadville - Turquoise Lake, Salida and Silverthorne - Lake Dillon. I will post pictures as I love photography - I'm not a professional photographer but I love to take pictures of this beautiful state. My husband, Mason and I are blessed with 3 handsome young boys - our oldest, C. is 23, B. is 10 and A. is 9. B. and A. love to hike, climb trees and play in the water when we are camping. I look forward to sharing our camping experiences with those of you who live in this wonderful state and those of you who would like to come here for camping.
