Summer Vacation to Red Feather Lakes, CO

We went back to Red Feather Lakes, CO to where my Aunt and Uncle own a lake front cabin for our summer vacation.


Our first day of vacation, we stayed the day in Denver and went to the Denver Zoo.


While up in the mountains, we enjoyed numerous, long hikes.


We saw signs of wildlife, like these antler rubbings from moose, and came across a few deer and smaller animals.


But the wildest creature we came across was Dexter. He is a true mountain dog at heart!






Rock climbing was a favorite activity of Ethan and my nephew, Austin. (We were excited to bring my 15 year old nephew with us this year. We also had both sets of Grandparents along for a portion of the trip.)




As always, the scenery of breath-taking. We were even blessed to experience a double rainbow over the lake.




We tried our hand at fishing one day.




And horse back ridding another. A first time riding horses for both Ethan and Austin.




We enjoyed spending quality time with family...


Spending lots of time outdoors...


Laughing and having fun...


And...I even managed some relaxation time.
 

Bliss!
