Boyd Lake Days

This has been the summer for having relatives visiting us at our summer home, Boyd Lake State Park.  It has been wonderful to share the amazingly beautiful sunsets that we see from our camping spot with them, as seen below, among other things.

 First to stay next to us was Roy and Char Beyer, the parents of Kim, our daughter-in-law.  They came to Colorado for Nate's Confirmation and were able to snag the spot right next to us. With them is their dog, Ginger, who had licks for anyone who came near to her!

Roy enjoyed fishing almost every day, getting up sometimes at 3:30 AM to be sure he could get his fishing favorite spot!  That is way, way too early for me.  But he was successful in catching a Walleye and made it for the 4 of us one night for dinner.  I had never eaten Walleye before and it was delicious!

Here they were, about to leave for Utah, but at least we knew they would return a second time on their way back to Wisconsin.

Sandy, Jerry and their grandson, Wyatt came in a couple of days later.  This was one of their stops on the way up to North and South Dakota. When they left the first time, they missed seeing Roy and Char by only one day.  It was almost like a revolving door, with people coming and going for our first 6 weeks here.

Wyatt enjoyed catching Ladybugs here at the park, and they seemed to like him too.  I was able to get a cute picture of him with the Ladybug tickling the top of his nose.

Our granddaughter, Kyla flew in from Phoenix to stay with us for 10 days.  She helped entertain Wyatt, who was getting bored at times being around us senior citizens.  There was plenty of bike riding done around the camp ground by those two.

Time for a hearty breakfast before the day begins!

Then along came Doris, who had driven with her trailer all by herself from Tucson.  As you can see, we had matching horse shirts.  That way, if one of us got lost, all we had to do was look for someone in the same exact shirt!  We did get a few comments, but at our age, being silly is all part of the fun.

 

She enjoyed going on bike rides with us, and taking the various paths to the north end of the lake and into Loveland.

Time for a minor seat adjustment along the way.  We were one bike short, so it was like musical chairs.....one person was without while Don and Kyla rode whichever bike was not being used.  It all worked out.
