On our last day at the cabin, we finally made it to Big Lake. (That's quite comical for my family! Typically, we accomplish Big Lake the first/second day.) Along the way up to the lake, we passed a herd of cows...You'll have to ask Brian about the cows. He has a little story, and now carries the same opinion as Caleb about cows in CO. I was very proud of him, he put up with alot this year, and did GREAT!

Big Lake
We ate lunch at the lake, did some fishing, then the rain moved in. Both Brian & Daddy caught a few fish each.
We tied Aspen up in the BabyHawk and down the trail we headed. (Thank you for the Babyhawk! We LOVE it still!!!!) It started raining almost instantly, thus the ponchos and raincoats were put on...all except me. I gave mine to Brian & Aspen...Brian forgot his. Poor Aspen, the poncho completely covered her, but she was warm, dry, and could breathe just time. :) We hadn't gotten far from the lake when lightening struck somewhere at the lake. We all jumped...you'll have to ask Brian about that too. :) We continued down the trail til it started hailing (very small!), and then we stopped and hung out under some willow bushes until it let up. To me, hiking in CO isn't complete without such an adventure. Brian, would be happy to live without it. :) Again, he was a trooper, and I was very proud of him. Aspen slept through everything after that big lightening bolt.
After we showered & dried out, it was time to begin packing and re-loading the van...
