Derek took the girls camping this weekend. (I had a Board of Directors training I had to attend so I came up late Saturday night.) They went to Kroger Campground in La Plata Canyon (about one hour from the house, up the Colorado mountains).
On Saturday they went on a long hike - up to tree line. Derek was excited at how good the girls were on the hike - they enjoyed it! This is great for Derek as everyone knows what a hiker he is. Even Pongo, our 10 year old Lab, did the hike well. Derek says he is showing his age a bit, but he did well. Then they did some four-wheeling in the truck up to the old mine. The girls collected "Fool's Gold" and a few other "treasurers". Olivia found a stick (just an ordinary stick to you or I) and names it "Toomi" she still has the stick this morning - she slept with it, she asked to bathe with it (and was promptly told "no") and when Daddy tried to throw it out she made him climb down the steep mountain to get it!
I came up Saturday night and we had dinner, made Smores, climbed the fence at the campground and watched the girls perform dances they made up.
Our family is diverse in our level of marshmallow roasting. Here is how Derek & I like our Smores... slowly roasted & slightly browned.
Then there is Emily - she likes it burned completely!
Olivia - she just likes it in between, however when she discovered she could light them on fire she began to do that for fun! Here is Emily blowing it out for her!
The girls had a great time & here are some more pictures of our trip:
