With a weekend to ourselves, we took off Saturday morning to Red Feather for a day of camping. And what a day it was! First, Joe found a great spot with a gorgeous view overlooking the valley - *sigh!* The weather was beautiful while we set up camp, but with clouds rolling in we has to build a little shelter for our firewood to stay dry. The tent took 5 minutes start to finish, the shelter took more like 45. Go figure.
As forecasted, it DID rain a bit, and Patrick DID hate getting his head wet, but the thunder was pretty cool - I think it sounded like a big monster truck to him!
Gorgeous view of the valley and snow-capped mountains in the background.

Once camp was set up we went for a little hike. I use the term "hike" loosely, it was more like a long-ish walk in the woods. Patrick loved his Kelty! This is him laughing, not crying.
He loved it so much, he fell asleep in it.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
His first bloody nose! And he's still smiling! There were lots of people riding dirt bikes and 4-wheelers past our camp, which I normally would have HATED but Patrick loved it every time they went by, and I love when he gets so excited, so I loved it, too. He got a little too excited this time and tripped on a log as he was running to see the "vroom-vrooms" (as he "refers" to everything that moves). When they went by 30 seconds later, he was back in good spirits. Nothing a "vroom-vroom" can't fix :)
The night got chilly so we tried out his winter gear. He didn't seem to care that the mittens kept his hands warm, but it was SO fun to clap with them on!
Thanks for visiting our blog! See ya next time :)

Looks like you guys had a great time! I can imagine that PJ loved every minute of it, considering there was no inside! Cute pics!!
I am insanely jealous. Enough said.
Looks like fun! What campground did you go to and how do you get there? We want to do a lot of camping this summer, but we usually just camp off the Poudre... we'd like to try something new!
Patrick looks almost like he's having as much fun as you guys.
Kids can sleep in the funniest positions. It's a good thing too I guess cause who wants a tired, cranky kid!? Camping with kids is so fun....like you said all the usual stuff that would totally bug us is all of a sudden ok when it makes your baby smile:)
I used to live in red feather! Real gorgeous. Full of bears :)
