Camping at Twin Lakes

For Memorial Weekend, we went camping!!! It was forecasted a high of 46 for the weekend, and snow/rain showers most of the time, HOWEVER: It ended up being sunny everyday and just windy. It was very nice! 

The Crew:
Jon & Cooper (one fang, three working legs)

Tim, Amy, Kastenbaby (second camping trip; Hiking to St. Mary's with Tedfords this winter was first) & Maggie

Jordan & Joy

Ethan

Joe & Alicia!!!!!!! (Flew in just for the weekend from Seattle! Woohoo)

The Set-Up:

One camper for Jon, the Kastenbees, and the Adamacks

One tent for J & J

One tent for Ethan

Three sweet hammocks for the enjoyment of all

One campground picnic table, fire pit, grill (we used it to stand our gas grill on top)

The Fun:

Playing games

Reading

Napping

Sun-burning Tim's chins and Ethan & Jordan's faces (E & J summited Mt. Elbert on Sunday...woot woot)!

Eating

Snacking

Drinking

S'moreing

The Drive: 

Just about two and a half hours on beautiful 285 through the big valley with Fairplay, viewing the Collegiate Peaks from Buena Vista, and onto Independence Pass at Twin Lakes. Stunning.
