Almost Spring Cleaning
Had to do a little cleaning...it's almost that time of  year again!! Think I might need some more tees...not!

Enjoyed a beautiful sunset tonight.

Day Three
Woke up on our final morning. My dad and Renee went fishing, while Dave, Kena (their dog) and I hiked the mountain at the front of our campsite. I thought I was in fairly good shape...I was rethinking that this morning. It was a good view at the top, just not what we had hoped for.

We had a GREAT weekend and ended the summer camping season with a GREAT trip!

Looking back down on the campground.

Day Two
We started out the day with a bit of adventure...a search for flour. Success at one of the shops in Florissant. We were also able to find feed, beer, liquor, and game processing!

In the afternoon I jumped on the treadmill and enjoyed the course of the South Platte up close and personal.

Family Camping...Begin!
Shortly after work today, I was picked up by my sister and nephews...we headed south to Eleven Mile Canyon for the family camping trip. Decided to fix one of my favorite drinks to get the long weekend underway.

Good Morning
Loved watching the fog move across the lake as the sun hit the surface.

Lakeside
You can always always trust a beer tastes better when you are drinking next to a mountain lake while camping

John's Ranch
Before heading up to meet everyone else camping, we played in Chad's Member-Guest Tournament. We won 1st place, low gross in Group B and almost won low net as well!

We were finally able to join the rest of the family at John's ranch near Walden. We had the perfect spot near a small, little lake...and all to ourselves! We had a great time catching huge rainbow, cutthroat, and cuttbow trouts. The weekend was wonderful and I managed to get a little snuggle time with the nephews!

July??
You would not have guessed it was the first week of July by the weather. There was wind, fog, mist and temps 20 degrees cooler then yesterday. A little unexpected!

1st Camping Trip
This isn't a photo I took today...it was from August a few years ago. Just getting in the mood for our first family camping trip of the summer to Camp Hale!! After the last couple of weeks, SUPER excited to be unplugged, except for my camera! :)

InnEdCo 2014
I was able to fit one day of the state tech conference up at Cooper Mountain into my crazy week. I took part in the "Google for Education Academy" Pre-Conferencee and learned some very FUN new Google ideas and skills!!

New Bloom
A couple of days ago, just after the snow, the first tulip made an appearance. And it's yellow...one of my favorite colors!
















Add On
With the sunset tonight, I had to post a pic.

Spring Day
The weather was great today. Loved the clouds in the west this AM. Had originally planned to play preseason golf, but after the two golf league meetings Monday & Tuesday nights, decided to come home and get some work done instead.

18 Holes!!
Made it around the full course today...so much nicer than Thursday. It's amazing how much difference having the sun makes! We are hoping for no wind tomorrow, or at least mild winds. Played with a wonderful couple and ate some yummy burgers!

New Year
Looking west this morning towards the mountains...first sunrise of the new year. Looking forward to what life has in store.

Outdoor Education - Final Day

During our time at High Trails, I have been working with the students in the Trapper group. During our time in the forest, students had the opportunity to build their own lean-to structures. I came across a number of very cool fallen logs. I've enjoyed my time with the kids, but I'm anxious to get back home. I will say that being out in the mountains makes me anxious to go camping this summer.

Outdoor Education - Day 2

I was very excited to wake up to beautiful, clear skies this morning! We were up early for our morning hike. This was the view looking east towards Pikes Peak.

Outdoor Education

Today was the first of three days at High Trails just outside of Florrisant, Colorado. This is a camp for the 6th graders - I went as a chaperone. We had great weather for our first day. This is a photo of an aspen tree...I loved the texture.

Beautiful Morning!

This picture didn't truly capture the morning colors. As the sun came up, there was a warm glow on the mountains. Getting very excited for spring and summer!

Grand Tetons

The sun was out and it was a beautiful day. On our flight home from Montana I spotted Grand Teton National Park out of my window in the distance. It looked beautiful...the picture doesn't do it justice.
