We're home...early

Well, the trip didn't quite go as planned. We had a great start to the trip. The location was gorgeous; we enjoyed some fishing and relaxed with some good food and a camp fire. It was cold and rainy, but we were willing to overlook that, given that the entire year has been that way. Summer hasn't come to Colorado.














Mike caught quite a few fish. His first, and probably the biggest, I accidentally lost. I was taking off the hook and accidentally dropped it back into the lake. Oops...but, he did catch one other big one to keep for dinner. I only caught one fish, and it was about 3 inches long.


Aspen did great in the tent overnight, but got us up early for sunrise. She hated the canoe, so Mike mostly took out the canoe solo while I babysat the dog. She ran and ran until she was exhausted. She's been under the kitchen table napping since we came home.

However, the trip didn't end well. Today, Mike slipped on some rocks and fell, hurting his wrist. We think it's just sprained, but the little clinic we went to didn't have an x-ray machine to know for sure. We'll see how he feels tomorrow and he can decide if he needs to go get x-rays. However, he's in pain and down to one working arm, so we decided to come home. Luckily for us, our next door neighbors had come up for the day to go fishing, so they were able to babysit Aspen while we went to the emergency clinic, and then they were able to help us pack up camp.

We still don't have any working water at home. The plumbers come tomorrow. This hasn't been our week.
