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!

A visit from Landon and Melissa

Justin's brother Landon and his family came for a visit. (Too short of one I might add.) We had fun!!! Took them all fishing up at the lake where the kids had a great time catching little pan fish and crawdads.

Melissa, cute and pregnant, Austin, Cody and Landon



Not sure what they were playing but looks like fun!!

Cody got one!

Austin got one!

Alayna catching them.

Hope we can do this again some time.
