Craig had the day off, so we decided to venture down to Pueblo and use Grandpa Mann's boat for the day. It was the first time the two of us used the boat alone so it was somewhat of a feat. I had to learn how to launch the boat, drive the jeep with the trailer attached, and even drive the boat. I ended the day by attempting to put the boat back on the trailer--without success, of course! The kids had a blast, as did the two of us! It was a very relaxing day of tootling around the coves and throwing out the tube for the kids to relax in. We had to teach them to use their life vests so next time we can use the big tube! The boys casted out a few lines to try to catch a fish or two while the girls enjoyed a great book or two.
Caleb doing what he loves most...skipping rocks! This area had the best skipping rocks. They were all flat.
Ema on the Top of the World...or rather, the Top of the Hill!
My favorite part of Pueblo Reservoir is the bird sanctuary found near the west end. It is a beautiful sight.
The kids really enjoyed hanging out on the tubes. Even when the rope came unattached and Caleb started drifting away and when Emaleigh lost her balance and the tube flipped, the two still managed to have a great time!
