07.11.10 ~ Camping with the Jorgensens ...

Nate, Connor, and I all went camping the last few days with the Jorgensen Family up in the Colorado mountains. It is a campsite we have been to before (Kelsey Campground), but we went there again because we love it so much. It's not too far away from Denver (hour and a half drive) so people that needed to drive back and forth could do so. The site is absolutely beautiful and we all had so much fun ... especially after the rain went away and brought the beautiful sunshine for the weekend! Connor also turned 10 months old while on this trip. He is growing up so quickly ... stop Connor! You need to be my baby forever ...

Connor was such a "happy camper" ...

Nate listening to his audiobook and chillin' in our tent ...

Connor in his "camping hat" ... aren't those big, blue eyes just precious? ...

Connor loves Grandpa Jorgensen ...

Chillin' around the campfire ... Aislinn and her boyfriend, Kevin ...

On our last day camping, we decided to go drive up Pike's Peak because it wasn't too far away from where we were camping. It was a "whole day" thing, and we all thoroughly enjoyed doing it. The drive was beautiful and we felt so high up once we got to the summit of Pike's Peak. It was an adventure and well worth going and seeing what Pike's Peak is all about!

We were taking pictures as we stopped on the way up Pike's Peak, and we decided to put Connor in the perfect spot for a moment ... it was his little "resting stump" ...

On the way up Pike's Peak - had to stop and take this beautiful picture of the "rainbow clouds" ...

At the top of Pike's Peak ... we made it! ...

Grandpa Jorgensen, Aislinn (Nate's sister), and Connor at the top of Pike's Peak. It got very cold very quickly up there! It even started snowing ...
