Yesterday was a crazy busy day. Amanda had soccer, which she of course hates but I'll have to get into that later, Andy had football pictures, Amanda had soccer pictures and then Andy had two flag football games. When we were finally done with sports for the day we headed to the cabin of one of Andy's fellow cub scouts for the evening. His parents have a cabin that belonged to his great-great-great-grandfather and has been in their family since the 1920s.
There were 5-6 scouts from Andy's den at the cabin, which was almost in it's original state from the 1920s, and their families. The boys shot bb guns, played in the creek across the road and went canoeing on the lake. Plus they lit a fire and had s'mores and did a few skits for the adults. Some of the people decided to stay for the night but the girls had swimming today and there were too many logistics to spend the night so we stayed until the kids couldn't take it anymore, put them in their pajamas and then drove home.
It was a really quaint place and a beautiful area and as we were walking back to the cabin from dinner at the lodge Charlie and I looked around and realized this was exactly the kind of things we should be doing now that we live in Colorado. We don't know how long we'll be here so we might as well take advantage of the mountains and the wilderness and any chance we have to do the "outdoor thing". This doesn't mean that we're going to start camping every weekend, especially after our last wet camping weekend, but we will try to see more of the state and experience Colorado.
