Recap: Annual Williams' Trip to CO

Chris' family has been going to Steamboat Springs, CO since he was little.  The past couple years we have been able to go as a family vacation.  Steamboat is a perfect getaway in the summer.  It's cool in the morning and nights and warm enough in the daytime to enjoy the weather.  There are lots of things to do there to stay busy, but we also like to spend time just relaxing and hanging out as a family.  

Normally, the trip has been planned in July; however, this year we went in September since no one had any school obligations.  It was the perfect time because all the families who vacation with young children had already gone back home since school has started, so there weren't a ton of people there.  The town was pretty quiet.  A quick recap of a few pictures:

Stagecoach is where we go fishing a lot.  Chris & his dad typically go almost every morning bright & early.  I usually pick a day or two to go with them.  They will spend hours out there! Beautiful lake!

{Fishing at Steamboat Lake}

 The last day we were there, we went fishing at Steamboat Lake.  We fished off the dam.  On this day, I had a lot of luck.  I caught about 5 or 6 six fish, although, Chris didn't do his part in safely removing the fish from the hook and a couple of them got away.  I think I ended up taking about 3 home.
