Last weekend, Jimmie, Blitz and I joined Black in Denver camping group in Bailey, Colorado. Check out the photos below, it was gorgeous!
We arrived late because the GPS took us the wrong way. Jimmie put it in the GPS and it took us to the correct spot. I have no idea what happened! But at any rate, we made it.
It was freeeeezziinngg the first night. Blitz loves the cold since he's a Siberian Husky but the humans...not so much.
On Sunday, we went to Wellington Lake. We rented a paddleboat first but Jimmie was frustrated that it wasn't going fast enough. So we got a kayak. Wound up getting it for free because Jimmie did some manual labor for the man in charge of the rentals. There was water inside the first kayak and we capsized because of it so we needed to switch. Jimmie offered to help by trying to empty the kayak filled with water but couldn't get it out. The second kayak was better but tipped every easily if you weren't sitting up straight the whole time. I hated that part. But I got some pretty awesome pictures out on the water so I can't complain too much.
The water was cooolldd but once you were in it for a few minutes, it felt refreshing! Blitz, this was his first time exploring the water. I led him out to a 6 ft long "island" of sorts made of huge rocks maybe 5 ft from the shore. We went back and forth until he was comfortable and not so skittish of all the splashing the two of us were making. We were on the island for a few moments and then Blitz put his nose in-between my legs. I was confused as to what he was doing then realized, he was pushing me off the island! I lost my balance and fell almost sitting in the cold water that went up past my waist. I'm just glad my hearing aids didn't get wet. I was sooo mad at Blitz but he was having such a great time in the water that I didn't stay mad.
Neither of us had Juneteenth off so we headed back Sunday night. On the drive back, we saw the beautiful sun setting among the mountains. It was a great weekend and hopefully, we can do more activities with Black in Denver. The one downside about this trip was that Jimmie was the only guy. Sad. He doesn't like to socialize with women but when we were at Wellington Lake, he was pretty outgoing. Way more than me! haha
