Haviland Lake

On Friday we went up to Haviland Lake, north of Durango, to go camping for the evening. Our good friends, Mark and Maria invited us to come and stay in their camper with them. I was very grateful they had a camper, because I am a big wimp and really didn't want to camp in a tent with Lillie. We had lots of fun! Joey was so excited to be able to go. He loves Mark and Maria and, loves camping. He is spoiled also the camping he knows is camping in a camper since my parents have had a camper his whole life.

We had dinner by the fire and roasted marshmallows. Rich and Joey went and played near the lake. We stayed nice and cozy in the camper that evening. Maria made us breakfast burritos the next morning.

Unfortunatly, the trip was over almost as soon as it started. Mark and Maria had to get back into town fairly early on Saturday so they could pick up their dog at the kennel.

All in all it was a great trip, short and sweet, but to be honest just the right length for me and Lillie.

Heres some pictures of us while we were there!

Lillie's first camping trip!

Eating dinner. I loved this shot of him in his hat.

He was so excited to build a fire

"Finally, they let me roast marshmallows!

We told him he could load the marshmallows himself and he thought it would be a good idea to put on on each end, silly boy!

The fire was never big enough, he always wanted to "help" and add more

I swear he was happy, he just has an ability to look grumpy in pictures, too funny!

Joey, helping again. He wanted to help use tools so bad, finally mark let him help take town the camper.
