Colorado Fun!!

Drew, Jackson and I just returned from a 9 day trip to beautiful and sunny CO. This time around we stayed with maw-maw and granddad in Southfork, which was SO much fun!! Of course we went to Creede to hit up some of our favorite eateries.....Kips and The Fire House. We did a lot hiking, fishing, and hanging out with the family. We also checked out the local Creede parade and the fireworks, which went off from the top of one of the mountains right in Creede...so cool!


On this trip we were lucky enough to see a bear, a bald eagle and then the typical deer that are all over the place there. The other exciting event was fishing! Jackson caught not only his first fish with Drew, but then caught a second fish on another day with granddad! He was quite the fisherman!!


All in all we had a wonderful time and as always questioned why in the world we all live in TX!!! We left the lovely 80 degree days in CO for the 105+ degree days in TX....why oh why do we live here!!!

It looks like you guys had an awesome time! I am wondering where you saw the bear, on the drive or around town? We need to meet you in CO soon!!!

Jackson catching his first fish with his Dad was most definitely the highlight of this trip. Maw-Maw and Granddad really enjoyed the Powerfoot’s company at Maw’Maws tree house (the cabin). This was an extremely stress free comfortable trip, one problem though---we had to come back. Dang-it!!! I do believe we thought of every possible reason not to return back to Texas, work, etc… We are looking forward to more great memories and fun to be made in the mountains of Colorado at Maw-Maw’s tree house with family and friends. Thanks Powerfoot’s, it was a blast!!!
Love Ya,
Granddad
