Colorado Trip - Part 2

The second part of our trip, we met up with Craig's brother and his family up on the Mesa about an hour away from Grand Junction, CO. We camped in tents for three nights. During the day the temperatures were in the 70's and at night it got into the 40's. It was great camping weather. Nothing like Oklahoma. The first night we hung out at our camp site and went canoeing on the lake. The next day we drove around the Mesa looking at lakes and the scenery. It was beautiful! So many lakes. We found a random lake and canoed it for awhile. We drove to another lake (Eggleston) and took a hike. And then we went to another lake (Island Lake) and canoed around it. The second full day, we went to a fish hatchery and then drove up to the Black Canyon. Although it was beautiful, I almost had a heart attack because there wasn't a good fence. On the way back we stopped by a river to let the kids play in the water. Nothing like sitting back and relaxing with no worries, enjoying the nature God made and watching your kids get filthy.
