One More Time

We wanted to squeeze in one more camping trip before the weather turns cold here. We had driven up a road to find a camping spot when the trailer started smoking. We quickly pulled over to find that the left side had "fallen" down onto the wheel and the wheel was rubbing against the fender.
My parents have blessed us with the loan of this trailer to help haul a family of 12 when we need it, and it has been so helpful for our camping trips!
So, now, with everything in that trailer, we were not sure what was going to happen.

We found someone to take it to someone else to fix the broken whats-it...I know, I sound like a woman....LOL
God provided though....
We needed to rent a trailer if we were still going to make this trip work. We went to the only U-Haul place within hours of us. They were closed...however, after several hours someone reached someone who sooner or later came and got us a trailer....

So, back to the broken trailer to unload and reload. Do you know why this is worth it all?

Bedtime after a wonderful hike....
What can I say...
I love, LOVE Colorado...and I know that God is pleased when we enjoy and take pleasure in HIS CREATION.
So, we left just in time because if turned COLD. In fact, today, here at our home, it has snowed most of the day...it is warm enough to melt quickly though.
We have been busy cleaning up because we have special company coming tonight...some of you know them...want to guess?

  1. Are you getting a visit from the 'D' family? Enjoy your time. We are looking forward to our visit in October.

    Also envy your cooler weather. The hill behind us is presently totally on fire! We need some cooler weather, not the 100 degrees forcasted for the next couple of days!

    Beautiful pictures!

  5. We used to camp when our older kids were young but then gave it up- we thought there were too many of us- Boy was I wrong!! Your pics look like so much fun I think we need to start camping again. Only problem is - we don't live in beautiful Colorado.

    I think you are amazing! You have an awesome family!
    Blessings,
    Jean
