Gorgeous Castle Lakes Resort - Colorado

We just returned from Colorado after being there 10 days with family and friends.

We traveled with 6 other families (26 of us in all).  We all have RV's and it was such fun to be on the road together.

Even our doggie Ava loved the ride.

We stayed at Castle Lakes RV & Campground in Lake City, Colorado.  What a gorgeous place.

 I thought I'd share some of my favorite captures my eyes took in.

This was the view from our RV site.  It was breathtaking.  It was a great place for coffee in the morning.  Nice and cold too.

The water was like glass most days and we had spectacular weather all week long.

I just loved how the mountain reflected in the water.

Hanging baskets were overflowing with color at the lodge.

I was tempted to bring this fabulous piece of driftwood home!

I'm sure the beavers would have been sad to see it go.

This bridge was perfect for fishing.

All 6 families  rented jeeps from the lodge one day. We drove  in convoy right up into the mountains.  It was an amazing day of adventure and  fun!

I just couldn't believe this view.  The color of the water in this valley took my breath away.

See what I mean?

Waterfalls everywhere.

Loads of belly laughter around the fire each evening. Loads of memories were made!  Some of these friends have been in our lives since high school so the stories that were told were absolute hoots.

Lots of hiking and fishing too!

The jeeping was my favorite, maybe because I had such a handsome driver.

Always so good to be in nature exploring God's incredible beauty.

Hard to be back in the 100 degree heat here in Texas now.  I'm going to miss my coffee spot.

but.... ready to start all my new projects!
