Mark was off for Good Friday and I took the afternoon off. Vickey and the kids spent yesterday morning getting ready for the outing while I wrapped up a week of work.
Mark and his family left a couple hours before us and secured our camp site at McWilliams. It’s a fine campground for those of you in the neighborhood. My only recommendation is to wear thermal underwear if you go there before May 1 (we were all very cold last night).
I’ll bet we experienced a 40 degree temperature spread today.Mark’s family, his parents, his work colleague Scott and his three kids, and our clan (the four of us plus Tank) had a very enjoyable overnight campout followed by a hike up Robber’s Roost trail.
Here are all the youngins. And yes, the snow is real.
To put it in perspective, we could see our breath this morning as the sun rose over the mountains and once we were home and unpacked, we enjoyed swimming at the Coglianese’s pool. I think the temperature went from about 35 or 40 to the high 80s. It’s amazing what a little altitude will do.After swimming the Easter Bunny paid an early visit here for both families. There was a raucous Easter egg hunt followed by pizza and a few games (toys from Easter baskets).
Right now Eliana’s in her favorite chair in the family room watching her new DVD, Charlotte’s Web, also an Easter basket gift.
Here are some photos from today's hike.
And here are Eliana and Dominic on our drive down the canyon. (That's how I felt too, but I was driving so I couldn't sleep.)
