The outdoorsy life...

I'm skipping a few weekends of adventures from when the Goodsons were out here because I have a lot of pictures to go through...but thought the blog needed an update! So I will work on all the pictures from the Goodsons trip out here this week and get them up soon.

This past weekend Robin and I decided to go camping in Fruita, Colorado!! It was a long drive Friday night to get there, but well worth the trip...Rob had never been camping before and me being the outdoors expert now thought it would be a good time to take her! **Note: Will was invited to camp with us but opted to stay home and study and be martha stewart**

Our campsite was different than most of the ones we had been to...it was pretty shady and grassy and right by a lake...





Saturday morning we woke up and went kayaking on the Colorado River!!! I have been wanting to do that ever since May when we were in Utah...and we finally found a place in CO that was class I rapids and calm enough for us to kayak on...



Starting off...



The river...









We kayaked 9 miles down the Colorado River, and it took us about 2 1/2 hours...it was AMAZING! We had perfect weather and the water conditions were perfect! The rapids were like going over boat waves at the beach...so we were able to take lots of pictures!

We take kayaking ver seriously...





So after awhile we just had a photo shoot...









Oh we also saw a bald eagle...



The end of the kayaking trip...we were so sad!



We made it!!!



So that was just Saturday morning...we did some other really fun things, but I'll put more pictures up later!!
