Colorado Vacation - Part Deux

Mommy and Daddy Deer in the backyard.

Daddy and Xander looking for fish in the river.

Lisa and Alaster catching some rays.

All Aboard!

On the banks of the Arkansas River.

Keeping the over zealous boy in check.

Praise the Lord for Kaelyn Mossholer; our babysitter for the week…if every family could be so blessed.

We have no idea what this is or why it's there.

That's a 8 point Buck taking a dump…in case you ever wanted to see something like that.

In Leadville, CO…again, we have no idea why he's here or what he is.

Leadville, CO…the highest elevated city in the U.S.

A couple of Hobo's walking towards their ride across country.

Thank goodness Xander is such a sturdy little boy…otherwise he would have been crushed.

Xander loves trains.

He had to pose in front of the train with Mommy too.

A beautiful view along our drive through the Rocky Mountains…we had to stop and take a pic.

Mommy and Xander taking it all in.

Nice scenery don't you think.

Just a family picture in the Rockies.

Cottonwood Lake, CO…we were the first ones on the lake and the first ones to catch a fish.

Getting ready to drown some worms…Xander's first fishing trip ever.

So just how long will it take to catch a fish anyway?

I'm sure there is some kind of photographer's explanation for this shot,but we can't think of what it might be.

Xander's first fish!!!!!  That's my Boy!

He was a little unsure about the whole 'Fish out of Water thing.'

Alaster was ready to eat it right then and there.

Alaster hanging out on the shoreline of Cottonwood Lake.

Xander going for fish #2.

Lisa and the boys enjoying the beautiful lakeside.

He's pretty much happy all the time.

Xander's catch after only an hour and a half of fishing…he's a natural.

Alaster hanging out while we packed to go home.

Xander helping us pack to go home.  What a silly boy!
