Because of the fire (which is now at 90% contained!!!) we had a few days off last week. So what did we decide to do...explore!! We have been at camp everyday all day so we decided to get off site and hang out a few different places. The first day we set off to Breckenridge. We had a great day just walking around and enjoying the area. We found a bunch of cool shops and we got lunch at a great place called Eric's. Put our feet in a nearby creek and got a chance to just relax. There were a bunch of little kids swimming in the creek. It was not the warmest water, but hey it looked like fun! We followed them walking across on the rocks to the other side.
I have been to Brek last year on my spring break and I knew of a great little hat shop that my friends and I spent so much time in! So we went there and spent time just putting on hats and taking fun pics. It was a great day to get off camp.
The next day we spent relaxing and hanging out at camp. I spent the day at the pool reading, catching some rays and some zz's. It was really nice to just relax at camp and not do anything. Next day we headed down to Pueblo to a beach...well what Coloradans call a beach. Aka a lake with a sandy shore. A bunch of us hung out there and swam around and a few of the guys went to explore. We later headed to another lake and had a blast throwing the sand/mud consistency that was on the bottom of the lake at one another. Needless to say we came back pretty tired.
On the way back we drove on 24 which is now opened because the fire has been contained. We could see the damage of the fire and how it spread all the way down to the highway. It was devestating. I am a bit nervous to go into the springs and see what the damage is down there as well. Still praying for the fire fighters and people who have lost their homes in the fire. It's been a sad realization...sometimes some things are just out of our control. But as we sang tonight on our way to sonic after work..."God is bigger than the boogie man, He's bigger than Godzilla or the monsters on TV. OOOH God is bigger than the boogie man and He's watching out for you and me." (That is from veggie tales if you do not know the reference.) This week has been full of work projects and cleaning up the camp. Working hard! I am excited for campers to come on Monday. But until then...Goodnight! And remember...God is bigger.
