Camping Near Estes Park

I cannot even remember the name of the camp sight that we stayed up! We were near Longs Peak and barely found an open camp ground because it was packed everywhere. But we ended up finding a great spot. We set up camp, played/walked around, and cooked dinner over the fire. Once we put Sky down to bed in her pack n lay in the tent, we played made up card games and made smores which I was super excited for! I just LOVE being in the mountains. It is so refreshing and free from a lot of distractions and everyday life. I'm grateful for a hubby that likes to go with me! It is a little tough bringing Sky along now because you have to literally watch her every second or she falls down a hill or tries to touch the fire pit, etc. But she just loves to explore! Sleeping was a little tough too because she woke up a couple times and didn't want to go back to sleep. I made it so she couldn't see us in the tent but she knew we were there so it was harder for her to sleep.

The next morning we got up, cooked eggs with peppers and turkey bacon and had cantaloupe. Josh ended up playing whiffle ball with the neighboring camping family and then we packed up and set out for a hike. We decided on a smaller hike and found one around Lily Lake. It was GORGEOUS! And the perfect hike for families, in case anyone wants to head up there. After our hike we drove into Estes Park and found a bench by the river and made ourselves yummy turkey, tomato, onion, avocado sandwiches. It was a perfect picnic! A whole weekend getaway that only cost us $11 for the camp site. That is always awesome!
