Colorado Getaway.

We took a wonderful little vaca with my family to my Nana & Papa's cabin in southern Colorado. And when I say cabin, I mean primitive cabin--no electricity, clean water, etc. However, the scenery is beautiful and the relaxation and free time is priceless! My sister, Kristin, and her family were able to come up as well. Tyler & Carissa were the only ones MIA, and they were missed! So, here is a LONG photo journal of our trip!

A little gas pump at a shop we stopped at for snacks after our hike.

At a yummy mexican restaurant in the mini town of Antonito, CO.

Jace and Braxton LOVED the cabin. Here they are watching a parade on the 24th of July in Manassah, CO (where my grandparents grew up).

The crew on the last leg of the hike up to Rough Creek Falls.

Our wood pile, courtesy of the big strong men in our family.

A clean John Deere in the parade that Andrew was excited about.

We made it! In front of Rough Creek Falls after our somewhat grueling hike.

The men in action! Brennan and my dad show us how to chop wood like a real man.

The whole gang at the mexican restaurant.

Baby Bren sleeping on the trip up, and showing a bit too much man-thigh.

Braxton insisted on re-strapping his shoes himself after they had dried--he took a dip in the river by the cabin.

The fishermen: it was an unlucky trip and we caught 0 fish!

The ever cute Ashlyn, decked out in her 24th of July attire.

The chipmunks are our neighbors at the cabin. This chubby one was a fav.

It's 114 today in Phoenix and I'm feeling a bit cranky about it. Your cabin pictures were a momentary escape. Glad you had fun.
