We were 98% prepared to camp in an undeveloped site...the only thing I really missed was a table. But I'll take free camping over a picnic table any time!
Eating dinner by the fire
Roasting marshmallows
Jacoby really got into the fire-building with Justin. He also liked to roast his own food.
Delicious!
The boys enjoying a sunset by the stream
Morgan woke up warm and toasty the first morning. Note his Berenstein Bears "Bad Dreams" book was kept close at hand...just in case.
Jacoby waking up chipper and ready to go
Our tent served us very well. We had a great spot in the trees, right by a stream
Morgan and Mommy trying to get warm in the morning
This boy spent most of his time by the stream, throwing rocks, floating sticks, and doing whatever boys do when they're near water
We drove up to the top of Guanella Pass. A long, long time ago Uncle Jared, Justin, and I climbed the peak on the right (Mt. Bierstadt). Mt. Evans is on the left.
A beautiful view
Just a few visitors also enjoying the view...we actually didn't see many, since they were all trying to get to the summit.
No summit-seeking for us, but we did hike down to the lake and enjoyed the pretty scenery
Boys by the stream, where they spent most of their time

Helping Daddy with the fire
Daddy's two helpers
We set out to stay one night, and then we let the boys decide if we should stay another night. They of course wanted to stay longer, so we did.
Roasting hot dogs and corn on the cob
I'd say it was a very successful camping trip and I'm glad we got to spend some time outdoors as a family. We were back home by 10 am this morning so we could get unpacked and ready for the week ahead. Morgan asked if we could set up the tent so they could sleep in it tonight. They definitely loved living outdoors for a few days.
