our hearts are happy

We just got home from a peaceful couple nights of camping with my amazing little family of four. We found spot that Jeff and I feel like we have been looking for for years. It is National Forrest on little Meadow Creek lake just south of Rocky Mountain National Park. We drove in Sunday afternoon just as everyone else was packing up, so we had the place to our selves.



a lot of relaxing




the kids each caught their first fish...little rainbows




Jeff caught more fish on a few paddles around the lake

The people leaving right before us told us to keep an eye out for moose. They said that they frequent the area and take a path right by our campsite to get to the lake. As soon as we heard that the kids were on moose watch...


And they came! We had the pleasure of 3 bulls company for 2 of the 3 days we were there.






It was really spectacular...hence our souls are filled and our hearts are happy. It was a gift of a little camping trip.
