Crested Butte

Our annual friends camping trip this year was to Lake Irwin in Crested Butte-- my second favorite place in Colorado after Ouray. The wildflowers are beautiful, and there is tons of hiking and mountain biking, plus a cute town. The kids love camping and spend all day roaming the campground in packs, biking, climbing, and generally getting really dirty.  We tolerate the camping because they love it so much.

Canoeing. This is one of those things that looks more fun than it is.
