Camping with the McMillians

So Jenna and I wanted to get up in the high country again and go camp before it gets to cold up in the hills. We decided to go the western side of RMNP just south of Grand Lake and Lake Granby. Julia and Matt came with us....so lets count four kids and four adults....it was a fun and exhausting trip.



Jenna and I made awesome breakfast burritos the night before. Every morning we'd warm them up over the fire and chowed down on them with some ranch dressing on the side. They where amazing.



We plotted our course through RMNP over the continental divide. We had a couple camping options not knowing what to expect when we got there. We ended up leaving RNMP and camping at Willow Creek Reservoir in Arapaho National Recreation Area.

Issac and Jacob explored the campsite non stop...



While we set up the site and prepared for rain. We saw a little rain everyday, but the clouds rolled out every night and the stars were a site to behold.



Issac was all to curious about fire...



Psalm enjoyed her first camping trip...at least until she had to go to sleep. Poor Matt and Julia their kiddos kept them up both nights.



Jacob loved playing in the back of the Tundra.



Sunday morning we took the Tundra and 4runner out for some offroading.



I absolutely love getting off of the pave roads deep in the mountains.
