Friday Five: Our Camping Trip

Top five things about the camping trip we just enjoyed:

1. Family time – of course! In addition to a hike and that trip to Weston Pass, we especially enjoyed an evening of charades. By firelight. With goofy kids.

2. Scenery – beautiful surroundings, and we went over to Weston Pass, which offers stunning views. Follow the link and you’ll see the aerial shot of the little lake we enjoyed looking over.

3. Food – we ate too much, but that is always the case when we are outside. Why is that?

4. Isolation – only one other party in the camp ground! We manage to avoid the crushing crowds by going camping after school starts (for most families) and before Labor Day weekend.

5.  The Platte River – which runs slowly through the area, meandering and allowing the kids to safely play for hours.

We’ve camped for many years, and it is a family tradition we’ll continue for years. The only downside this year: Our oldest is already at college. We missed his presence!

Question for you: What  do you especially enjoy about family getaways?
