Colorado - Day 3

My cousin Jeff and his wife and four kids arrived last night so I took them on a hike up to the waterfall today. Here are some pics from our adventure. I forgot to take a pic of the waterfall at the top.





The hiking crew before we headed down. Phoebe, Jeff, George, Uncle Walter, Aunt Connie, me, Lois, Dillon and Allison. Dad was taking the picture.

Colorado - Day 2

One of the best things about being at the cabin is not having any set plans during the day and just hanging out and doing whatever you wish. Today I slept in until about 10 before taking the Jeep up to the top of La Manga Pass (10, 321 feet) with Mom and Alice.

I went on a run with Alice and let her play in the river while I just sat and enjoyed God's creation and spent some nice quiet time.

Uncle Walter, Dad and myself went on what Uncle Walter calls a "fruit shoot" up at Spruce Hole. We took some onions, potatoes, cans and water bottles and unloaded several hundred rounds of ammo. This is an annual event - especially when Uncle Walter brings his arsenal of pistols with him. He only brought three this year but a few years ago he had 13 pistols with him.

Colorado Vacation

I made it to the cabin on Monday with Mom and Dad. Uncle Walter and Aunt Connie came up in the evening. My cousin Jeff and his family are coming up tomorrow followed by David, Sarah and all four of my nephews on Friday.

Today was a pretty lazy day around the cabin. After driving 10 hours on Sunday we got up at 5 a.m. and left Clayton, NM and after stopping for groceries in Alamosa, CO we arrived at the cabin around 11 a.m. We unpacked the truck and spent the afternoon eating, laying around and getting the cabin ready for use. We did have some trouble with the well and the water heater. So after pumping out some mud from the well and changing an element in the water heater everything is up and running and ready to go.

A Weekend at the Ballpark

I was able to get over to Bulverde a few weekends ago and watch my nephews play ball. Stephen was done with his season so I didn't get to watch him play but I did see Montana pitch a game on Friday and I was able to see Zachary play two games on Saturday.
