Camping Part 2

Last weekend we went camping again. This time we went to Carter Lake (we went to Horsetooth Lake the weekend before). It was just Tim, Lilly, Jackson and I. Jill, Jason and Kaylie came up for dinner and fire time. Once again I took too many pictures, and I can't just pick a few. Here are MANY MANY pictures :)

This was our camp sight and pop up.

When we reserved our campsite the website had no indication that our spot was handicap accessible, and that you were to have a handicap permit or licence plate to camp there. So...we are law breakers (we would have moved if someone handicapped came!!!).


We walked down to the water, and Jackson had to swim and dig in the mud. What a weirdo!
Tim and Lilly hanging out in the camper.
What a mess...

This is a funny video of Lilly showing off her dancing moves.

I love this picture of her in her fishing hat.

Half asleep...and half drunk :)
After Jill and Jason got there, Kaylie took a little nap. How cute is she??? She's so cute when she's asleep....
....but even cuter when she's awake.

Such a good uncle!

It was pretty windy and chilly so Jill bundled Kaylie up and used an umbrella to block the wind.

So...the first night we were there we were by the fire and heard Jackson growling (he never growls). We shinned the flashlight and saw a skunk. I've never seen a skunk that close before. These stupid drunk teenage girls that were camping next to us thought it would be fun to chase it. Luckily they didn't get sprayed and the skunk ran away.

The next night when Jill and Jason were there we heard our trash bag move. When we looked back the damn skunk was running away. He tried to get into our trash. This picture is proof for those of you non-believers. :) Yes...I'm a dork.

I kid you not, a little later the stupid skunk came back. Jackson started growling and we saw it right by the tent at the next site. I was pretty tipsy so I sort-of chased it off (right after I said how stupid those teenage girls were the night before).

Shortly after we had settled down by the fire Jackson started growling again. The stinkin' skunk came back and was under our pop up. By this time I was feeling pretty really tipsy, and had a water bottle in my hand. I guess it was just instinct to chuck the water bottle at it. He ran away and didn't come back...or so we think. I thought it would be a good idea (in my "tipsy-ness" to reenact the whole thing for you non-believers. Yes...I still know I'm a dork.

Stupid, damn skunk!!!!!

Camping Part 1

The first weekend of September we went camping in our pop-up trailer for the first time. It was so much fun. We went with Tim's parents, our neighbors Jim and Angela, and our friends Bob, Julie, and Gavin (their baby). I couldn't just pick a few, so here are a bunch of pictures.

Here's the "party train" of campers. We have a pop up, his parents have a huge camper and a boat, and Bob and Julie have a big camper. We all met at our house, and we took up the whole street.

By the time we got up there it was dinner time, and Lilly thought she was so cool sitting at the table like a big girl with Gramps and Granny.

All cozied up by the fire.
This is Gavin (Bob and Julie's little guy) all bundled up in his swing. SO cute. Tim and Bob used to work at the same station, but are still best buds. I'm so happy they came with us. :)
We had a bucket hat for Lilly, but it was just a tad big. She looked like the Darth Vader guy in Spaceballs, Dark Helmet.

Fire time...my favorite. :)

Before we left on Sunday we went out on Gramp's boat. Tim and the boys had already gone out earlier and skied. They also went out on Jim and Angela's jet ski. Brrr. I stayed at the camper!!!
They talked me into going on the boat for a SLOW ride. It was Lilly's 1st boat ride. She was awake for about 5 minutes then she passed out.

Gramps and Lilly driving the boat. Check out Lilly's new life jacket!

Granny and Lilly

Yup...I'm a dork.

ZZZZzzzzz.....

This is my FAVORITE picture!

This is how Lilly looked after 2 days in the dirt. Good times!!!

Relaxing at the cabin

On Saturday night Lilly and I went up to the cabin to hang out with my dad, Jill, Jason, and Kaylie. Tim was working and my mom is on a cruise. We had a nice relaxing night.

Here's a picture of Lilly "eating" a corn on the cob. She thought it was so cool that we just let her have one. She was laughing, and even put it up to her ear like it was a telephone. What a goof!
We broke the Wii out, and my dad was a pro (holding a baby and kicking our butts at bowling).
Lilly helped bounce Kaylie in her bouncer. Kaylie just watched Lilly, and didn't seem to mind.

Lilly at the table sitting like a big girl.

Lilly's 1st "Salon" Haircut

Lilly's hair grows so fast, and I've had to cut her bangs a bunch of times. She has become so squirmy that I can't give her a straight haircut anymore so I decided to take her to Cool Cuts (a kids salon). She got to play in the play area while we waited, and sat in a firetruck watching a Barbie movie while she got her hair cut. She thought it was pretty cool.
Here are a few pics from the big "salon."
She wasn't so sure about the spray bottle.
What a good sport :)

Goin' to Granny's

Lilly got to spend the night with Granny Piel (Tim's mom) a couple weekends ago. They had a good time! Lilly loves going to her grandparents because they spoil her rotten. That's what grandparents are for though.
Granny bought her some new toys...spoiled much???? :)
The next morning when Granny was getting ready Lilly decided to help...and empty out all of her drawers. She found the curlers so Granny put them in her hair. How funny!
