This week we took the family camping. What an adventure that was for the little ones! They were talking about it for a week before we finally went. Frank was away at Scout camp, so he couldn't make it, but we had a great time anyway. Our friends own a campground just outside of Estes Park, CO, and we go once a year for them to see all the kids. It's just beautiful. If you ever come to Colorado, check out Drake Campground on the Eastern side of Estes Park, (shameless plug!) Here's a pic of some of the bunnies that they were letting the kids pet, (Oh great, now they all want a bunny for Christmas...)

And here's a pic of a tributary to the Big Thompson River. It runs right through their property and into the river which is just a few hundred yards downstream. Just upstream from where this pic was taken is a campsite pretty much right on the river. We stayed in one of their cabins, but when the twins are a little older I hope to camp there. It's one of my favorite spots in the whole place.

Oh, and as for the title of this post... We were enjoying a nice dinner, watching all the bicyclists entering the park heading West, (Colorado is big for bicyclists. We get some world class riders coming here to train, but I digress...) when suddenly my Honey sighs and says, "They're going the wrong way, France is that way."

And so it goes. :-)
