Visit to Grand Lake, CO

Day 1 - Arrived in Grand Lake
Staying/Camping in the Claassen's vacant (4-sale) home.
Been awhile since we've visited the area now that they have moved away.
 So glad we still got to enjoy it.
YAY! Got to see the Moose x2.
In RMNP

Fishing below Shadow Mountain Lake Dam on the Colorado River.
Lovely night, but not much catching.
Couldn't decide which one I liked better!?!

Found a pond where the minnows were more active than the trout.

Day 2 - Hike to Adams Falls and the meadows beyond.
Annette enjoyed views of her favorite Mt. Baldy again! 
"Look, I have antlers! I'm an elk."
 
These will make Annette smile!


So excited to hold the snake we found.

Takin' the new Suburban out 4-wheeling, sort of.  Best parts, the views and mountain air, and making some of the kids nervous. All the bouncing, sliding, slow going just lulled Corbin to sleep! 
This is what he thought of 4-wheeling.
 
Day 3- Hike up Ohanu Creek -One of Justin favorite spots
The big boys hiked in quickly so they could fish in the meadow.
The rest of us enjoyed the hike up, singing and playing. We even packed a picnic.

This ones for you-Justin
Practicing fishing.
Or maybe something else!

And more moose to be seen as we headed home!
