Camping Day 1

 
Last weekend we decided to go camping and see some of the pretty fall colors.  We ended up leaving Wednesday after lunch and came home Sunday afternoon.  I was a little worried about how this trip would go, especially when Haley threw up everywhere just 30 minutes into our drive.  But it was great!  We drove from Colorado Springs to Durango, to Telluride, to Glenwood Springs, and then back home.  A lot of driving!  Haley did not like her carseat by the end of the trip.  How is it that she can fall asleep on the way home from church (a 10 minute drive) but she won't fall asleep at all on a 4 hour trek?  Let's just say she was tired when we got home! 
 
Wolf Creek Pass. 

Found a short hike along the way...love how Neil is hiking in his work clothes!

Going for a ride.

Can't wait until she can walk these hikes...she's heavy!

Setting up camp in the dark.

This is our mammoth tent!  It has an extra "garage" that we don't really need at this point, but we wanted to see how it worked.

Plenty of room for all our stuff.  Lots of blankets to keep warm.  Our first 2 nights in Durango were actually pretty warm.  It is when we went higher in the mountains that it got frigid!
