Fishing and Shopping. What a better combination! I get to shop at the Silverthorne Outlet Mall while Ben literally fishes between the stores. Frisco here we come!!
We have loved the Breckenridge area for a awhile and only a short fifteen minute drive is Silverthorne. The area is gorgeous, the shopping is awesome, the fishing is great and the hiking is perfect. Why not make the second camping trip to this beautiful area. We packed up and headed that way.
I would say the drive was just about 2 1/2 hours and wonderful but that would be far from the case. Denver traffic was just that, Denver traffic. The drive took 4 hours. Madison was over it by 2 and we had not even hit the road leading into the mountains. I was getting hungry. Lets just say that Snickers commercial where the man transforms into an angry troll like person may be a small resemblance of myself when hunger comes over me. And don't even mention what pregnancy induced hunger does to a girl!
We finally arrive at our destination and God must have known I was not going to last much longer because the first campsite we hit there was an opening. One opening. That if we did not drive fast enough to would not even be there in 2.5 minutes. Apparently someone literally cancelled 2 minutes before we arrived. Thank you God! Truly, He may have thought a divorce was going to happen if food was not fed to the angry troll like creature my husband calls a wife.
The view of lake Dillon was breathe taking. The fishing on the other hand was not. The streams Ben later fished at were great. He even had a crowd at the outlets mall that clapped and cheered when we caught a good 20 inch rainbow trout. Ben said he felt like he was in a tournament with all the commotion. Then when I had to talk to him over the bridge I felt proud..."yea ladies, that's my man." Smile. Wink. Girly laugh. Maybe I think he is super handsome and I love when women check him out because I know he is mine!
Wow, I have got off track again....Rewind. Shopping successful. Fishing successful. Hiking successful. My sweet Madison enjoying playing in large puddles because it rained almost all day most of the days successful.

 |
| Dad you know I don't like those fish so close to me! |
 |
| Ben kept saying, "There is no way I am catching a fish." Ha! That 6 inch fish was a keeper! |
