Camping With the Grips

So we went camping with the our friends the Grips from July 6th to July 9th. We drove about 5 hours away to Ridgway State Park and camped in Yurts. As we were driving there Emily started complaining of her ears. Once we got there Mike took her to an urgent care and we found out she had an ear infection. They got her on some antibiotics and she seemed fine. While they were are urgent care I unloaded our stuff into the yurt and fed the other kids some dinner.

The next day was Tuesday and we did a little hike and then got caught in a rain storm. It was nice to have the yurts to keep us warm and dry. When there was a lull in the storm our family drove into Montrose and hit Target for some games the kids could play just in case we got rained in again. That night we had dinner that the Grips prepared and then put kids to bed. Once they were asleep the adults sat around the fire and visited.

Wednesday it looked gloomy and cold but we decided to do the Ouray Hot Springs anyway. It was beautifully nestled in between some mountains that made us feel like we were in the Swiss Alps. The kids had fun and I enjoyed the hottest of the hot. Once we left there we went back to the camp so our family could prepare dinner and then the usual night routine of bedtime for the kids and visiting for the adults.

Thursday we packed up and headed home since I had to get to class that night. We sure had fun and can't wait to do it again.
