This past weekend we went camping at Sylvan Lake State Park, just outside Eagle, CO. It’s a beautiful Colorado State Park near a crystal clear mountain lake.
Gorgeous.
We spent lots of time out on the lake, canoeing around and “fishing.” The rangers at the park put on some good programs too and we went to the one about insects!
Everyone loved that. The kids caught damsel flies, bee flies (they’re flies that look like bees), grasshoppers and probably 10 more bugs I’ve already forgotten about.
We did a lot of relaxing which was great. We did make it up the pass to check out an old abandoned fishing camp. You could peek in the windows and see bunkbeds and wood stoves and newspapers from 1985.
This was the last of the first batch of camping trips we scheduled this year, but we’ve got two more planned for September. It’s been really great fun and I’m so glad we’ve been able to do this with the kids.
So glad you had a lovely trip. Have a great time on your much needed vacation.
