Brodies' 8th Birthday!

We celebrated Brodie's 8th birthday briefly at home and then left for Colorado to go camping!

Opening birthday presents!



We headed to camp after church.  We made to it to the camp site when it was still light, so putting up the tent was a fairly smooth process.
Isaac loved to hammer in the stakes

Almost time for supper!
Blowing out the candles on the birthday cake!

I love my guys!

There was a playground close to our tent at our first camp site.  

We stayed near Estes Park for three nights at Mary's Lake campground.  It was a nice campground, but just had a lot of other campers (several from Nebraska and one from Gering).

We went hiking to Gem Lake our first full day at Estes Park.  It was a great hike with quite a climb and a lot of beautiful views!
The boys are off and running. 

Time for a quick break.  


Slowly going higher and higher. 

Fun crossing a bridge. 

We found the boot with a hole



Still climbing (we had to keep telling Isaac to slow down)


We made it to the lake. 


The boys loved the lake at the top because there were several friendly ground squirrels.  We stopped to have a little snack and the ground squirrels were begging for food.  One even jumped up onto Abel's lap.






Brodie's turn


Now time to head back down




Lift that rock!


It was a great day of hiking!
