Cousin Camp

I so enjoyed my sister and four of my cousin's being here for a few days. We hadn't all been together in a long long time.. Even though we aren't young girls anymore....this visit really helped us turn back the years of time..

 

Here we are, three sets of sisters.(yours truly front and center) My sister Suzanne gifted us with mugs that had pictures of us when we were little girls. A great keepsake... and we sure enjoyed sitting around having coffee out of them every morning.

We had daily outings.. I drove them in all four directions, into the countryside. This is Pike Snowden's Meadow. A sunny place to walk around ...and you can even explore inside his old cabin.

We were also able to get in a couple of picnics. I think this was everyones  favorite spot...right beside the river.                                              A few of the sights we saw:

snow capped mountains

small waterfalls

 and large (North Clear Creek Falls)

Rivers and creeks almost over flowing from the snow melt

Flowers in bloom. Yes, I know...in your yard they are weeds. In the mountains, they are some of the first flowers of Spring!

 

The real ones are just starting to peek out...A wild Iris.

I forgot to mention, we also shopped, went out to lunch, and took turns cooking dinner,

saw a moose in the wild....had dinner in an underground mine, and attended the opening night play at the Creede Repertory Theater, Annie Get Your Gun..I certainly  hope that they weren't coming here to rest!
