Campin'!

Last Friday we loaded up the car and took off for Cheyenne Mountain State Park! Actually just below NORAD so very close to home...just in case! The kids danced all day with there backpacks and net...finding that a backpack hinders a variety of tricks on the sofa!


First things first...Lucie, Dad, and Little Jer made quick work of the tent.



Yes, that is a blowup mattress...and yes it was a fabulous idea!




Ahh...snack time already...what good is a campin' trip without lots of de-licous snacks?! Otherwise known as "Beer-Thirty!"




Helping Boy takes charge of rinsing the cups with dad!



Adventures await in the Great Outdoors...Tally Ho!














Flashlights steady...what was that!! Coons!! Bears!!! Snakes!! And lots-o-rabbits and crickets! Two Wee Ferg favorites!









Atop Mt. Ferguson! or a rather amazing climbing rock!













Hmm...perhaps a little too crispy thinks Lu Girl!








Face it...this boy loves his Hot Chalkie! It turned him into a tyrant as did the marsh"mellows" (ha!) for Lucie!






















A quick distraction...take the cup and quick give him a marshmallow!! Which Bubs proceeded to eat as a sucker with gusto!















One of our views!


















Lots of running down trails!








Ooodals of wild flowers this year...all hand picked by Bubs for his Momma!



















What did I say about never knowing when a wee ferg will bust a new trick! Whalllaaahh!!

















OOOHHHHH!! AAAHHHH!!!


















"GROWL!" snarles little Guy as he repeatedly attacks Lucie in the tent!

































































Outback with their flashlights, sleeping bags, and cateens full....Lu and Bubs take off to "Wooga Wooga Boo Nature!" (that is the extremely scary phrase we use to frighten everything!)

















Cheerio!


Okay the real deal is they loved it except for Bubs really was banging on the car at dark to go home! We did have "facilities" super close...which was terrible because "quick try" girl thought it her every 20 minute priveledge to "go"..."Ahhh Lu you do not have to 'go' just because you took a sip of water!" "But Momma "QUICK TRY!!!""!!!

No one fell asleep till midnight...to many noises, songs, crazy children bouncing off of everything! It was misty in the morning so after a short hike and breakfast...so this is 6am now!! We packed up and headed to the Old Colorado City Farmers Market...then home for some powerful naps!
