Young Forever: June 2008

That should be the slogan of my husband's life!

This time he talked me into cutting Andrew's hair myself. Or should I say bribed me. He offered Andrew $1.00 to sit there and offered me $5.00 to cut his hair. He said $6 was a bargain compared to $15. I have to say for my first time on Mr. Wiggle Head, I don't think I did too bad.

This past weekend was our annual Father's Day camping trip. We go up to Veedauwoo, half way between Cheyenne and Laramie WY, and camp for 1 or 2 nights. Since John doesn't like to be able to see other people when camping, but I refuse to backpack our stuff in, we typically drive about 5 miles down the road to the Tie City campground. Much more secluded and less known. However this year when we got down there it was still closed. We got really worried that they would all still be closed due to the last snow melt. But then we read the little sign, "Non-motorized vehicles only" I guess they decided to dedicate it to a Mnt. bike trail so you can only pack in you gear now. So I talked him into going down the Veedauwoo itself to see how crowded it really was. We started out in the RV/Tent sites because they are a little more spread out. We found one!!! Yeah for me. It was on the end of a loop, by a trail head, so the RVs on each side were like 50+ft away. The flat area for our tent was even down a little hill right below a rock wall so we really couldn't see anyone, or anyone see in our tent! The hill also made for the perfect place for Andrew to play with his Tonka truck. We found some new trails to hike that don't require as much rock climbing, which will be nice for you MO folks that like to hike with us!

*I don't know if you can see it with the pic so small but there is actually some climbers up on the rock in the upper left-hand corner.

A few weeks ago, Andrew climbed his first mountain, Horsetooth Mnt., with John and some of his friends from work. I the last pic you get a nice overview of Fort Collins.
