WILLIAMS RESERVOIR
Damon and I have been camping a total of 3 times in the entire almost 12 years we have been married. We have been to cabins with my parents; he has been on scout outings and Father and Son weekends, but as a family - this was time #3. Absolutely gorgeous!!
Now I have to say, we borrowed a camp trailer from some of my favorite people, (thank you Wyatt and Brooke), and it was wonderful not to sleep on the ground. I definitley know what I want to invest in the next time we have some extra money, (does that even exist).


You can't really tell in the picture above, but the boys were about 5 feet from a cliff that dropped several hundred feet - seriously!! That is the highest cliff I have ever seen and I was more than a bit nervous while that picture was being taken.

We went for a scenic drive and it turned into trying to seek out all the cool carvings in the Aspen trees. I have always been totally anti tree carving, but it looked so cool, and all the trees survived, so we let the boys pick a tree. We plan to go back every year to check out our trees.





No - I don't believe in letting my 5 year old use a pocket knife, ( I know - totally over protective, but whatever, he's my kid), so that is just a picture of him watching the others carve a tree. The D + M tree is so funny. We started talking about carving, and Caden said that dad really needed a D + M tree. I'm thinking - "HELLO - WHO IS THIS M - MY NAME IS AMY!!" Apparently it really stands for Dad + Mom. So Damon did it. He wouldn't let me see until he was done. So I guess this tree would work for every mom and dad, but I know it's really mine. It was such a great trip. Here are just a few more pictures of the great time we had.






Caden is holding a tooth. He bit into his brat and it came right out. Quite a smile for this 10 year old. We had a great time. No one got hurt, lost, or even eaten by bears. I'd say it was a great success for us. I can't wait 'til the next time.

  1. Yay! Glad you got a blog up and running. Now I can keep updated on you, too! :) We go up to Pagosa into the mountains every year. We love Williams Creek. It would be fun for our families to go together next summer (and invite Brooke and Wyatt!)
