Vacation to Salida and Montrose -Silverjack

The day after Jakai's birthday, we packed up for our family vacation for the year. My boss has a second home in Salida, so we decided to go there for the weekend and then head to Montrose afterwards to go camping for a few days at Silverjack. I didn't get any pictures of Salida because I found out I was pregnant about mid-August and I started getting nauseous about the time we went on vacation. Tahlia was also sick and then I started to get sick with the flu (very feverish for a couple days). Salida was a cute little town and we did get to walk for a little bit along the Arkansas River, and go to a local farmer's market.
On Sunday, we headed to Montrose (at this time, I was not feeling well at all). We also found out that Josh's great-grandma Pfifer passed away and her funeral was to be held that week. So because we were all sick, we did not go camping at all. Instead we went to the funeral, hung out with Josh's family, and went on a couple outings while we were there. It wasn't the vacation I had planned, but we made the best of it.
One day, we went to Silverjack (one of my dad's favorite places to fish and camp - we camped here a lot when we lived in Montrose). It was nice to get out, but very exhausting for me, and by the end of the ride home, I was feeling very nauseous. These are pictures of our trip to Silverjack. The lake was really low, so it was actually pretty cool. Jakai also reeled in his first fish here. It was pretty exciting for him. Anyway, this is a beautiful place!
The last night we were there, we went up on in the woods with our friends, Michael and April, and had a campfire. We ate chinese food and Michael and April made dutch oven peach cobbler and we brought the ice-cream.
