We had no problem enjoying our extended weekend with a family mountain escape to the largest freshwater, natural lake in Colorado. The lake is not very big, but the area is gorgeous. My favorite spot.
Waking up Saturday morning, we were greeted with this beautiful scene from our front deck. I could not inhale enough of the crisp, fresh mountain air. The kids got a good deal of play time in that little beach below.
One, two, three, JUMP!
And, we enjoyed this little boat ride.
We also took a bike ride to a small hike and played in the river some more. I think we could’ve played at this spot all day.
It seemed as if time stood still. No one complained of being hungry, tired, or uncomfortable. Bliss.

Hi Laura, I finally looked up all your posts in Monkeys on my Back. Love them all and really did miss reading them. Why is the format different? I used to get an e-mail notice and then on your blog there was a spot to comment and read other comments. Hugs and keep it up for your enjoyment (and mine). Love you, Peggy
Hmmm….that’s weird. I did change the background but that shouldn’t matter. Maybe just resubscribe to the blog. See you soon!
