First Outing in Colorado

Yeah! We finally found some down time not spent on a road trip and some good weather to enjoy the great outdoors of Colorado. We have soooo looked forward to this! Yesterday we went about a 1/2 hour south of Grand Junction up into the Glade Park area fishing, 4-wheeling, and picnicking. It was a gorgeous day for some family fun in the mountains.

This was our first fishing trip since leaving Florida. Mackenzie was ecstatic to go and was so excited to catch the fish. Collin on the other hand wanted nothing to do with them but mostly just sit on my lap and watch Mackenzie go crazy over all the action.

Getting geared up for some good fishin'

The Wanderer

Besides wandering and sitting in mommy's lap, his next favorite thing...eating chips!

He didn't want much to do with fishing.

Daddy's fishing buddy

She's got a bite!

Make that two bites! Her first catch ever and she landed two at the same time. Boy was she excited.

And another bite...not really. She was playing around with the fishing pole and snagged her fish on the stringer. She thought she caught another one all by herself.

Future fisherman!

After fishing we enjoyed a long 4-wheeler ride up through the aspens that are just getting their leaves on. Aspens are my absolute favorite mountain tree and it was heaven for me. It was so pretty and refreshing. Too bad I didn't get any pics of the ride, but Collin was loving thinking he was in control and driving the 4-wheeler all by himself.

Many more mountain adventures to come...
