On Monday July 18th, I flew to Denver, Colorado to meet up with my family for a vacation.
Eating at Sonic at 11 pm. after my flight was delayed two hours. :)
Pillow fight with Timi the next morning.
Hotel breakfast
I decided I picked the best part of the trip to drive with them. Heading west out of Denver, we began to cross the Rockies.
Beautiful pines and rivers
Ski resorts
We exited at No Name exit and arrived at Glen Canyon Resort, the campground where we stayed.
Checking out the Colorado river while waiting for our cabins to be available.
Our two cabins. (This is a panoramic picture, so the row of cabins were not curving away as it appears.)
Each cabin had a bunk and a full-size bed.
Timi showing off his bunk.
We went to eat supper with the rest of the Unsicker crew at the pavilion.
Justin and I compared heights. He's awfully close to catching up to me!
Timi's still got a ways to go.
These two are the only two of my siblings still shorter than me.
Hiking Thursday morning.
We decided it was more adventurous to hike in the stream, so we did that for a bit. The water was ice cold, but it was fun trying to find the best route on the rocks.
Wild raspberries
Looking back down the river
The highest we went, a little lookout point. By the distant ridge, we could tell we'd ascended quite a bit since the same ridge towered over our camp site.
My brothers and me.
While eating supper that night, we saw this amazing rainbow that was in front of the mountain.
We also zip-lined and white water rafted, but since you have to buy those pictures, I don't have any to share. :( Just lots of good memories.
Then we drove back to Illinois... where I visited for the next week and a half.
