Colorado Trip - July 2010

We had a wonderful time in Colorado on our first family trip with our pop-up camper cross-state. I must admit I was quite on edge thinking about the possibilities of bears and making sure food and utensils were put away adequately each meal. But I finally relaxed eventually and we had a great time hiking, picnicking, attending Ranger sessions and making s'mores!
Here are some photo highlights:

Snow in summer!
Momma's first try at cooking cinnamon rolls over the campfire.
Rain won't stop our s'more making!
One of our many lunch picnics while hiking:
I think it's technically a squirrel but we thought more a chipmunk;
they were not afraid to come right up and follow us:
First hike:
First Ranger program; learning about the destructive tree beetle:
LOTS of mule deer:

Fun at the campsite with what we called "sling ball":
