HORSETOOTH RESERVOIR - APRIL 26-29, 2012

Campsite at South Beach/Stout, CO, Horsetooth Reservoir, Fort Collins, CO

Seth and Brynn's Hobbi Trailer and new Ford Pick-up

Devin and Belle's New Trailer at the campsite-Devin did a Fantastic Job on their trailer 

Brynn, Belle, Devin, and Buckley

 

It was quite chilly and windy the first 2 days as our parka-clad men will testify.

Euchre was the game of choice....

The next day was a little warmer ..

Seth enjoyed the sun...

We were able to get out on the water and try out the paddle boards and kayaks and Brynn looked like a pro....no one took any spills into the water.

 Seth showed remarkable balance on his paddle board--even balancing a watermelon on the front and delivering it to the shore.

DAY IS DONE......

Spring Break in the Rockies

The trees are starting to bloom.....

The birds are returning and building nests....despite a snow shower....

And the Huberts arrived in Denver to spend Spring Break with us....

We visited the Denver Mint which didn't allow pictures--the Paparazzi were disappointed...

But we were not deterred and continued on to IKEA---

Ella, Aubrey, Jack and Meg enjoyed their seating department

Jack helped pass the time with the I-phone and some games....

Missi, Dave, Meg, Ella, Aubrey, and Jack

Meg shows me the dress she designed and made for her doll--she's very Creative!

The next day we went to the Denver Zoo---Jack catches a ride on Dave's shoulders.

Ella, Missi, and Meg

The Mama Orangatang and her 2-year-old swinging in the trees

We went to the Lorikeet Aviary and feed the Lorikeets some nectar

Meg

Ella and Jack tried the "How Far Can You Jump"...

This Cormorant flew into the Penguin habitat and threatened the little guys with loud squawking and aggressive behavior--the penguins grouped together and tried to chase him away, but one against many this time was sufficient.....he ruled!

Jack enjoyed the Camels

The Huberts at Denver Zoo
