The weekend of July 16-17th we camped at Horsetooth Reservoir near Ft. Collins. It's only about 80 minutes from our home and it was a fun weekend getaway. Our campground overlooked the lake and 3 small camp cabins (pictured below) so it was a nice spot. The lake shore was a red clay mud that oozed up through your toes and gave me the creeps, but we still managed to have some fun in the water. I'm not sure if the water's always as high as it was because there were big trees that were surrounded by water in the cove by our campground. It wasn't my favorite camping because we had some crazy-loud neighbors both nights, but anytime we can get away together as a family and be outside is a win for me.
Dan's brother Ken drove up from Loveland Friday night and sat by the fire with us after dinner (my favorite: tin foil dinners). We talked and roasted marshmallows and made S'Mores. Ashlyn stayed up with us until Ken left and we looked for constellations.
Saturday morning we got a prime spot for fishing and Ashlyn hooked a little fish with the biggest mouth I've ever seen. Claire & Corey enjoyed throwing rocks into the lake (which is probably why we didn't catch any other fish!) We came home tired and smelling like campfire, but it was a nice weekend.

The camping trips look so fun! I can't wait until my kids are old enough that it's more fun than work so we can do that more often.
