We love Poudre Canyon

Isn't Poudre River beautiful?

We had such a good time visiting Poudre Canyon on one of our visits to Colorado this Summer. I know it was awhile ago but I had to put it on here because we miss the mountains so much. Poudre Canyon is about 30 minutes from Fort Collins and it is Beautiful!!! We went up there so we could have a picnic with Chris' family and Chris and his brother Nick wanted to get in some fly fishing before we headed back to Kansas (no fly fishing here). I love this picture of Jame and I, he was so darn cute. Actually all three boys were so darn cute on this trip it was a gorgeous Sunday evening and none of them fought or caused problems, it was a perfect night. Grandma Becky and James exploring around the shore.

We had some yummy watermelon that James just loved and he ate most of it.

Cute Smile!!!

Nick was helping Mikey cast a few times. Mikey tried it a few times and then I think he got bored and got back to diggin' in the dirt and throwing big rocks in the river.

Chris helped Shawn cast some and then left Shawn to do it on his own for a little while, I think Shawn was happy to be doing something else that his daddy loves so much, those two are inseparable these days.


James loved throwing rocks into the river, he did it for quite awhile. We would give him a pile of rocks and then he would just throw them all in and want us to get more, I think he finally figured out that the rocks were everywhere and he could get them on his own.

He and the boys had fun digging in the sand and dumping water into it and playing with the toys grandma brought.

Sitting down to get a bite to eat before they go back out on the water.
We lucked out on this spot that we found, we had looked at several other spots and Chris doesn't like a lot of people so he kept going up the river to look for something a little more private, well we found the perfect little place with nobody there and a great sandy beach area for the kids and a great spot for them to catch a lot of fish. I guess Chris is the only one that caught fish that night.

Chris caught a fish and tried to get James to touch it, he did not like that at all!

The boys are so strong they are about to throw that huge rock into the water, can they do it?

Yes they can!!!

Cute boys in the mountains, I wish we could go there more often. Hopefully soon...
