Our Morning started with rain, but that didn't stop David from getting up early and catching a handful of fish. He shared his morning with a few Elk having their breakfast.
Next if was up to my Aunt and Uncles home for breakfast and then to Red Rocks park.
It was fun but the kids were anxious to get back to our temporary home at the creek, ready to start a day of fishing and playing outdoors.
They didn't catch much but enjoyed trying.
To all our surprise, Jonah decided to go for a dip in the frigid stream. He stripped down to his birthday suit and jumped in.
Then the guys decided that we needed a bridge over to the island and it was quite entertaining to watch. They had to fight the current with this heavy metal grate.
Their determination won over mother nature and they finally succeeded in their quest.... much to the delight of all the children.
And children there were. My cousins came with all their kids. We had a hard time figuring out the whole second, third cousin connections. Josiah proclaimed..."wow, our family tree just keeps getting bigger and bigger."
Here is me with my cousins, Richard, Lisa and Robert.
It was so wonderful to have my Dad around too. The kids had a great day with Grandpa!
We could not have asked for a better day. Full of the wonder of nature and a beautiful Family Tree.
