On to Colorado

We woke up to a beautiful morning in Fishlake on Monday. The aspens were even more beautiful in the sunshine. This is a picture with the Three Sisters trees, Heather and I were sad to not have Michelle with us. We enjoyed breakfast at our large picnic table, then loaded up and returned to the road. We drove to Colorado and made camp at the Island Acres state park by the Colorado river. That was a beautiful campsite too, surrounded by cliffs. Our first campsite had no shade and was far from the bathroom so we decided to switch, after we put the trailer up. That was a bit of an adventure moving the trailer while it was up, but we didn't have any problems. Heather and I took the kids to the play structure and the lake. They started by throwing rocks into the lake, but ended up getting quite wet by reaching down into the water to pick up rocks and then just sitting down in the water. When we went back to the campsite, it was time for dinner and the mosquitoes were out in force. It was so bad, we were swatting them consistently during dinner and still ended up with a number of bites. My legs are speckled with red dots that are uncompleted bites. We had a fire and roasted marshmallows before retreating into the trailer. Micah roasting his first marshmallow.
