Laughing

We had a ton of laughs on the drive out.

At one point I thought the police would

surely pull us over as Nathan, Franchesca and I

must have looked like 3 teenagers who stole their parents RV.

No, I am not that young looking

but I was doing aerobics in the front seat while passing semi trucks

while trying to sing the lyrics to "Bust a Move".

I cannot recall what started this episode

but it included the spraying of water

out of some mouth...

 Laughter is the best medicine.

 And the best way to rid oneself of nervous energy.

Garden of The Gods

We spent hours roaming this place.

Most of the sites on our to do list were closed due

to consequences of nature,

like 7 Falls, Royal Gorge and the Manitou Incline.

This piece of heaven suits our family just fine.

And it is free.

Once outside the walls of a vehicle,

it is a photographers dream.

This trail offers a nice 30 minute walk to 

an outcropping of rocks

 if you do not stray. Or go beyond.

I feared we would make the news

for a search and rescue operation.

For us.

I feared that Nathan was extending his bubble

a teeeeeny bit too much.

I realize I need to quit fearing for my children.

At the end of the day it was I

who was hurt.

A casualty of loose stones.

We Are Back Home

Minus One

I'll use the first wifi I've had in awhile

to post this recent photo from Silver Lake.

The wifi in this campground is so stinking slow,

each post is worth gold.

 You can't have one

without the other.
