CAMPING

Believe it or not, Pat and I have been together for over 3 years and have been putting of a camping trip every summer. This summer we finally made it on our first camping trip together (well since we went in High School...). We ventured to Leadville to Turquoise Lake and it was GORGEOUS.

Funny thing is that during the past three years, I have owned a tent (who knows where I originally got it). But in that three years it has never been used. I assumed it was the big tent we used to use in HS...until we put it up. haha. This tent was barely a 1 person tent. Here is Pat in the tent we ended up using:

Here is us in the drizzle when we got to Turquoise Lake on Day 1:

We enjoyed the Lake immensely. It ended up being clear the whole time we were there. And the water was crystal clear. Gorgeous!

I couldn't sleep in our little tent, so Bear and I took a walk down to the water on the morning of Day 2. I was the only person up in our campground and the only person on the lake, so serene...

We were not big fans of the tiny tent but Bear LOVED the tent. Any time the zipper was open she would find her way in there to lay down.

We took a lot of time to just enjoy ourselves. Us on Day 2:

We sure did love the Lake. I think that we are going to make that a yearly tradition. Anyone who wants to join us next summer, let us know! We are going to plan way earlier in the summer and get our butts camping a lot more.
