Photobucket Day 4 photos -

This was the day that Mike and 7 of the children hiked to the top of Marble Mountain and explored Marble Cave and Marble Hall. It was 12ooo ft UP. I will post their photos later when I can corral someone to explain to me what I'm seeing.

Here are the photos of our day back at camp. And I'm totally over my pity party after yesterday's hike. ::snort::

I LOVE mountains and nature...and have been soaking up the views. This is simply the view I saw as I played "Sorry" with Zander and Stacia.

Look closely and you'll see a horse and buggy. Evidently there is an Amish Colony nearby....AWESOME furniture for sale in town.

Oh, no, it's starting to get stormy. I hope the family is o.k. on that mountain.

These little bare feet went ALL over the RV Park.

Hmmm...what else can we do? I can try to capture "emotions" like Cindy did.... ::snort::

THIS is Zander's tick. He does this in social settings that make him nervous. It's common with children of his alphabet make up.....and I was thrilled to get it recorded.....so when you hear me say he squinches his face or talks out of the side of his mouth - THIS is it. BTW Zander just saw this photo and said, "You gotta email that one - I look like a pirate." Great minds seem to think alike around here. ::snort::

One thing we loved at Westcliffe was sitting out at night and watching the sunset. This night I took a zillion photos - the others were still on the mountain.

OH! I'd completely erased from my mind the uniqueness of the Colorado sky! You're tugging a little at my heart, DeEtta!

Sis:

Awesome foto's of the stormy sky.

Dad said, That one looks like Alexander telling us "Cecil did it"

So very glad you all got to be together and have special times together.
