It wasn't her first trip to the Rocky Mountains, but this time she roughed it in a tent with bears roaming nearby. Okay, there weren't any bears, but we did see a rattlesnake, and our friend Eric swears he saw a moose. We pitched tent a little south of Breckenridge--or maybe it was west, frankly, I have no idea--but as soon as we got there, Carl discovered that his hiking boots has disintegrated from disuse. Literally, the soles fell off. He found a fishing hook in the dirt around our campfire, a bit of string from his camping kit, and knit the soles of his boots back onto the leather. We feel he deserves a badge, so if any of you former Eagle Scouts have a "knows how to sew boots back together" badge, send it our way.
This backpack looks cool but hurts like heck!
At Garden of the Gods near Colorado Springs and where we saw the rattlesnake being prodded with a stick by a German tourist. Or maybe he was Swedish. Frankly, I have no idea.
Poor Casey and Eric had to do all the heavy lifting, while Sophie sat around doing this:

My little Sophie girl is becoming a first class traveler....she's already seen so much of this beautiful country...Papaw is tickled to hear that she likes camping as it is one of his favorite things to do...Hopefully we can take her camping at the cabin before too much longer...We love you all...and miss you all....
