Happy Campers

There is a first time for everything. Especially when you are 6 months old and camping for the first time! This weekend Grant enjoyed his first camping excursion at Bear Creek Lake on Denver's west side.

• Papa's vintage Airstream RV ... check.
• One 4-person tent ... check.
• One pack-n-play to go in tent ... check.
• Air mattresses, pillows, sleeping bags ... check.
• Flashlight app on the Droid phone to light the way at night ... check.
• Camper next to us who decided to play a vuvuzela horn (remember that from the South African soccer games a while back?) at 10:30 at night ... check.
• Good camping memories for our family ... check!

We reserved the duties of setting up camp

for our resident Eagle Scout Scott.

No roughing it at this campsite.

Only the finest menu for our campers ...

chicken fajitas with all the fixin's!

Laidback and lounging. Ahhh ... this is the life.

An evening swim at Bear Creek Lake.

Inner tubes encouraged, but not required.

A s'more and a sleeping baby ...

what could be better!

Just to give you a visual inside our tent.

We started out with all 5 of us in the tent.

Then the two jumping monkeys (Luke and Reid)

had a change in sleeping quarters and got

moved to Papa's RV for the night.

Mom, Dad & Grant spent the night in the tent

beneath the stars!

Rise and Shine!

All smiles after his first campout.
