Random notes from Fish Lake

Sleeping, Running, dirty kids, bathrooms

The kids had so much fun. Jimmy’s cousins have kids also, so for the most part the kids always played together. They were soo cute! Aunt Angie brought a bunch of things to keep kids busy too! What a collection! It impressed me. Markers, crayons, coloring books, paper, stickers, puzzles, games and more….the kids played with those things a few times during the day. It was GREAT!
Charlie had fun playing by the water faucet. It had a little leak that he played in front of most the time. The other time, Charlie was playing with toys that other people brought, toy bikes, golfing set, and toy lawn mower. That boy had so much fun. To get him to take a nap, we had to take him for a walk in the stroller. He was so exhausted from playing soo hard every day.
I did go running two of the mornings. The altitude was 8800 feet. Going up hill was definitely hard! Hard to get a good breathe in. I just went running for 30 minutes, and that was good, over 2 miles I am sure. The scenery was amazing, and it was just great! I really enjoyed doing a little trail running. Not having a trailer meant we had to walk far to use the restroom, but we did ok. No kids woke up during the night with the need to go potty. We didn’t sleep the best in a tent and on foam pads, but we did ok. The kids kept warm in their sleeping bags. You can’t have too many blankets!!! The kids had 2 blankets and the sleeping bags. We always forget we can’t put all 3 kids to bed at the same time. It doesn’t work. We tried to do all three the first night. Charlie has to go first, and alone then later the girls and us.
