Camping at Steamboat Springs - July 2012

 After a 3.5 hour trek northwest of Denver, we arrived at the campground in the pouring rain.  Phil and I quickly set up the tent trailer and then the sun came out!


Lake front camping!

Camera man Charlie capturing the rest of the family.

Even after the huge downpour, a fireban was still on so we did smores on the BBQ!



The next morning, we hiked up a mini mountain to check out the views.





 Looking down on the campground - our camper is closest to the bathrooms in the first row.



We headed into Steamboat Springs for the day.  The hot springs are one of the best I've ever seen!

 Taking a break...


Charlie's turn!
He makes it, this time!

Chloe on the crab slide.
Lucy's turn!

 Another wet evening - heavy rains in the afternoon, followed by a beautiful evening.

Caught the rainbow this time!
Phil with the only thing he could catch while fishing - a crayfish!

After being assured it wouldn't pinch, Chloe held the little guy.


Such intense colours!


Lucy was so well behave this weekend!  Something had to be wrong.  Turns out, she was lethargic and had a high fever.  There had to be an explanation!
No dark clouds, now!

Another beautiful sunset!
Playing catch.



 A relaxing night for us!  Both girls went to bed right after supper with no complaints!  







Feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep.


 Third day of no baths makes for some crazy bedhead!



 Last chance to do some fishing!


 Phil, showing Charlie where to find the fish.  Cause they're not in the grass where his hook keeps landing!

Showing us how it's done...
 
Lucy, feeling much better!
 



Getting soggy, right before the car ride home!
