camping in colorado

We met up with all of the Denver Granges this weekend for some good old camping in southern Colorado.  Mom and Dad Grange rented an R.V. for a more comfortable camping experience.  The girls and babies got to sleep all cozy inside while the boys (including little Ryan and Andrew) slept in tents...in the rain.  It rained and rained and rained!  In fact, it was raining so much we had to cut the trip short :(  We did mange to get some good family time in and did enjoy the time we had together.  We visited the Sand Dunes and found a gem of a place called GatorLand.  It is this random place in nowheresville, CO.  It turned out to be well worth the money.  You just don't expect to see a whole bunch of alligators in Colorado!

Ryan got to hold an alligator and was given an award of bravery that the alligator signed (it bit down on the paper)

The alligators were close!

And this is the kind of place it was....nice fence huh.
