Julius' First Camping Trip

Little guy met a lady...

And got carried by his momma on the most beautiful hike she's ever been on. 

Big Sister actually hiked!

 

He missed out on the s'more party.

And didn't get to go fishing...

We all saw the hungry fox, begging for human food. It was kinda sad that humans are feeding the wildlife but amazing to see the stunning creature up close.

 It couldn't have been a more beautiful place to experience the great outdoors for the first time!

Fishing in the Wild West

 Only two days into his new job, Ted took an entire day off work to go fishing with Gary, a friend from Houston.

There's gotta be some perks to moving across the country away from dear friends and family, and I think this was one of them.

Ted says this little guy fought like a much bigger fish. And apparently, they narrowly escaped this hidden rattlesnake:

 The Poudre (pronouced Pooooderr) River runs right through Fort Collins. I imagine there will be more of this activity in the coming weeks....

We arrived!

After driving 1, 186 miles in five long days in two cars with a toddler and infant in tow, we arrived in our new town and headed straight to the nearest bar (to watch the World Cup). Thanks to G'ma and Grandad for helping us schlep across the country! - June 27, 2014
