Boyd Lake State Park, Loveland. We found a 20 year old canoe at a garage sale for only $20. It's a little unsightly and needs some minor repairs, but it's seaworthy. "Okay Dad, let's get this baby in the water!" |
 |
"Dad, the canoe fits perfect on the popup! You sure did a lot of work to get it fixed up and looking good for our trip to Bockman!" |

Bockman
Campground site #317. Colorado State Forest, near Gould. Our annual all-church family campout weekend. "Hey Dad, no cows mooed all night like they did last year! I slept GREAT!!!" |
 |
"It finally stopped raining, Dad, See??? It's clearing off...let's hit the water!!!" |
|
North Michigan Lake Reservoir.
"Oh yeah, this ROCKS!" |
|
"My turn to paddle up front. Hey Dad, are you going to take EVERY kid from church out for a ride?" |
|
"Okay, let's head straight for the boat ramp to pick up the next crew." |
|
"Here we go again! I just
love this job!!!"
|
|
"Paddle left...stroke, stroke, stroke...there you go! Is the next group ready?" |
|
"Hey Mom, we're going to challenge Dad to a race! See him out there? I bet he's worn out from paddling all day!" |
|
"Not a chance, wimps! We can run circles around your paddleboat in our canoe!" |
|
"What a day! Marshmallow high five!!!" |

Dowdy Lake Campground site #35. Roosevelt National Forest, Red Feather Lakes. "Our campsite is right on the lake, Dad! Cool!!!" |
|
"Check out the panoramic view!" |
|
"Okay Dad, my turn to go
out with you just by myself. Can we take Tuxie with us?"
"Hey Dad, I'm over here on the rock...can you see me???" |
|
"Okay Tux, STAY! I still need to
get my PFD on."
"Please, please, please, Tuxie, don't make the canoe tip over!" |
|
"Thanks for the escort, Mr. Tugboat! Don't move, Tux! |
|
"Duh...okay...I'll just rest my chin and enjoy the ride..." |
|
"Hi Mom, can you still see us in the dark?" |
|
"Bye Dear, we'll just paddle off into the sunset!" |
