San Isabel National Forest

Today we trailered the quads to the Arkansas River in search of our 1st Spring camping location.
We saw quite a few white water rafters coming down our section of the river, a class III (Brown's Canyon).

The boys skipped rocks and played in the water.

Gail was a big help with the kids.

Joss felt the chilly water.

A perfect spot for camping next weekend!

The boys loved every minute of the beautiful weather.

Mommy even had time to sneak in a picture alone with each of the kids.


Jake and Tye went fishing...but caught nothing. (Due to the rapids, I'm sure.)

Tye and his worm!

And Jake with his!

Mommy promised to hold a worm today!

The boys we very patient.



Daddy looked "mountainmanish" with his bandanna! Ha!

TT and Mom.

Breck really enjoyed his first experience with big water. Akitas are swimmers, so we weren't surprised and he LOVED it!!


The boys and their puppy.

Of course, the little monkey of the family had to climb the trailer ramps.

Joss had her first "potty-in-the-forest" experience! (The wilderness girl was all about it!!)

We got OHV tags for the quads to ride them in the forests and national/state land.

Notice Gail's shirt and hat? We tie-dyed a bunch of things with her and her kids last week for her birthday!

The whole family on a quad ride: Nick and Jake/ Mommy, Tye and Joss

I caught her!

Off we go...no worries, the kids are required to wear goggles (or sunglasses), a helmet, hiking boots, protective gloves and a bandanna if riding on the 2nd quad.


The wet sand was very soft.


Joss loved it.

Who can resist splashing?


The weather started in the high 50s...

And ended with us shedding layers with the weather in the high 70s.
