Camping and hiking in the San Juans

 Before the rains came and cut our summer camping season a bit short, we enjoyed a lovely birthday cousins camp out at Rob and Sheila's. The kids love to run through the meadows and forests gathering wild strawberries, flowers and climbing trees.

 

 

 The views are always outstanding!

 

 

 We build traps, learn about trees and animals, and look cute with flowers in our hair. Grace is such a cutie and loves to pose for pictures and then look at them. I have a lot of pictures of her this summer. Dylan loves helping his little cousin and is so nice to her.
 

 The boys like to try and hide behind trees, under logs or under a bunch of branches and leaves so that they can spy on us or scare us. It provides hours of entertainment.

 For Sheila's birthday she wanted to hike Wilson Peak. It is one of the more difficult 14er's and she is a rock star. It is a beautiful hike and one that I may do again someday. Unfortunately we had a tight window with the weather and I found the loose rocky terrain to be very slow going, so I did not summit that day. The other three did and we all had a wonderful hike.
