Imposing creatures.
Elegant.
Well, not always imposing.

Yuk. It’s Miller Moth season. Judy traps them in the bathroom by leaving that light on and the rest of the lights out, then goes in there with a fly swatter and commits mayhem. Now the bathroom mirror looks like something from a Hitchcock movie. We were so happy
…to get that spot we could plug in and stay at the fairgrounds when we found out we couldn’t stay at the state park. This morning, however, we found out the state park had reopened! Yeaaa! We’re so happy to get to go to the state park instead of the fairgrounds. It’s not muddy here.
There is so much more separation between units.
… and it’s so much more scenic.
There will be more campers here as they figure out the park is open again, but we practically have the place to ourselves for now. Full hookups for the first time this trip. Warm, calm and sunny today. It’s all good.

The night was cold so Henry found a way to keep warm.
There wasn’t all that much snow. It just made for a nice morning view:
Finished up the day at Becky’s house. Conner cooked up a batch of something for his mom.
This is Brian working.
He loves it when I take pictures of him working.
We didn’t get the whole family. We got Becky, Brian, Teigan, and Conner.
Taylor and Tony are still off at school.

We’re headed to the Boulder area one day early
We have reservations at Saint Vrain State park starting Sunday. The park is totally booked for the weekend, but surely with all this rain, someone will cancel and we’ll be able to get in. Somebody cancelled all right. We got up this morning, had coffee and watched the news to see how much weather we were going to get. It turns out Colorado is in the eighth day of a ten-day weather event. They’ve had rain every day for eight days, with more rain, and snow, in the forecast. In between weather reports on the news, we also learned that Saint Vrain State Park was evacuated in the middle of the night last night, due to flooding. So much for our plans. Judy, of course, called around and located a spot for us at the Boulder County Fairgrounds for the entire week. So we rolled into town from Strasburg, set up, had lunch, and set off for Becky’s house. Matt, Lindsay and the kids drove up from Highlands Ranch for an early Mother’s Day celebration.
Weather warnings for the Denver area:
We got the trifecta. We drove back to the bus nice and early to get settled before the rain turned to snow. 2015 summer trip map
