Camping pics and our complete adventure



















Our camping adventure began on Friday after I completed my day off work. We left Cheyenne and headed to the in mountains Laramie for a fun filled weekend of dirt, and more dirt!! We pulled our new camper up the mountain and arrived at our destination, Lake Owen. We found a nice cozy spot for our camp out that was nestled among other camping lovers, which was good and bad. When we unloaded the first sounds we herd were that of some sweet mariachi music, and barking dogs. Now if you know our dog barking dogs and people make for a disaster of a trip when it comes to the dog. I promise I tried to give him away while I was there but there were no takers. Our first night Jace was so cute, he carried his own camp chair, which was Lightening McQueen!!! He also helped his dad get sticks to build a fire which made him feel very big. Saturday morning we woke early thanks to Jace and the sunshine and ventured out to see some beauty of the earth. Dan is always lucky so for those of you who want to hunt you should go with him because he always sees animals. So thanks to Dan we had the opportunity to see a buck deer that was in the velvet, a moose which I spotted, and some elk. After our driving adventure we took Jace on the 4-wheeler which he loves but due to the lack of sleep he actually fell asleep while we were being bumped around on our drive through the mountains twice!! We tried many times to get Jace to nap but I think he was worried he would miss out. Lake Owen is very pretty so we took time to just walk around the lake and to our surprise we discovered a train on the trail!! Jace was so excited, of course we had to stop our walk and let him play on the train!!! On our hike besides trains and water we got to stop and see caterpillars and other low walking bugs. Jace was so excited to try and pick bugs up on the stick. As for what we ate, hot dogs are a must when camping. Dan wanted to make fire grilled pizza so he was in charge on our last night and while I was feeding Jace Dan was busy cooking our amazing dinner!! Funny thing though Dan burnt the pizza so much we could not eat it. Our second best option for dinner was breakfast which was eggs sausage and yummy greasy potatoes. Of course we did smores and melted star bursts which are amazing on an open fire.
All in all no matter how much dirt I encountered I enjoyed our camping trip. I must say having a trailer is very nice. Lessons we learned or I learned was pack more pants and socks!! I love the outdoors and enjoy all the beautiful things we get to see. I am so glad that I have my little family to enjoy the outdoors with.
