Camping with kids in Colorado is big FUN!

2010-07-21T00:42:23Z

Lake Baldwin in Colorado - Elevation 12,088

Every kid remembers their very first real camping trip. I’m not talking about a tent in the backyard but a real camping trip up in the Colorado high country. I highly suggest it if you are looking for fun things to do with your kids.

Campsite

Last week my 5 year old son and I took a two night camping trip up to Mount Antero outside Buena Vista, Colorado with our great friends and neighbors Steve & Connor Smith.

Adventure Hike around the lake

This was a full on guys camping trip which included the following: adventure hikes, campfires, fishing, NEW pocket knifes for the boys, (all fingers made it home fine) marsh mellows, steak cooked over an open fire, panning for gold in the river, BB gun shooting, a true Colorado weather event with hail, sleet and rain all at once, hiking on a glacier, and yes the coveted brand new wrist rockets (That video is funny) otherwise known as sling shots. Steve & I actually dominated the playing time with the sling shots as we were hurling stones into the lake about 100 yards away. I highly recommend wrist rockets for your next camping trip!

No matter where you decide to go Steve & I both decided that we were going to make every effort on our part to make sure the boys had a great time, were safe and stayed warm.

It can be a daunting task for some kids to jump out of the high tech world we live in and into nature where there are no electronics to entertain them at their whim. Both boys were excellent and not one single complaint was filed about not having a TV or other comforts of home. I was very happy.

View from our camp.

The road up to this campsite was about 1.5 hours of serious 4 wheel drive action. Some of it probably not doable in a smaller SUV with low ground clearance. However or wherever you decide to go isn’t the issue. The main thing is that you get out and enjoy your kids and the Colorado back country.

I still remember my first big camping trip with my Dad and I’m sure these kids will too. It’s amazing how in such a short period of time and at a young age a lifetime of memories can be made. We have been home for over a week now and my son has asked to go camping just about everyday so I’m sure another trip is just around the corner.

“There will always be work excuses and reasons to put off a great trip like this. Life is way too short and we have entirely too little time with our kids as young people to not do something like this. Work can wait so go have fun!”

Full Spreadsheet Here!

Steven Beam is a Parker Colorado CRS Real Estate Broker.

This will be a comparison between the sales from January 1, 2010 to June 1, 2010 and ALL of 2009 sales .

Homes Sold in 2009 = 117 versus 50 for the first half of 2010.
Average Days on Market in 2009 = 100 versus 79 DOM in the first half of 2010.
Average Original Asking Price in 2009 = $349,208 versus $330,039 in 2010 so far. Original asking price means BEFORE any price reductions.
Average Asking Price at Time of Sale for 2009 = $ 328,459 versus $311,716 for the first half of 2010.
Average NET Sold Price for 2009 = $325,014 vs $312,772 for 2010. NET sales price is what the seller received after any seller concessions to the buyer.
Average $ Per Sqft Sold in 2009 = $136 vs $134 in 2010. Price per sqft is figured on the sqft above ground not the basement.
Average NET Sales Price vs Average Original Asking Price 2009 = 93.07 vs 94.77 – Tells us sellers are now pricing homes more in line with the market. A little more anyway.
Lowest NET Sales Price in 2009 = $180,000 vs $204,900 in 2010.
Highest NET Sales Price in 2009 = $625,000 vs $515,000 so far in 2010.
Total NET Volume Sold in 2009 = $38,026,693 vs $15,638,583 for the first half of 2010.

Basically even though the market seems to be moving right along in 2010 (especially before April 30th when the tax credit was in play) this shows us that so far Canterberry and The Villages of Parker are a little behind 2009 at least for now. We will see what happens over the next 6 months.

Parker Days Starts Today. Carnival Fun in Parker Colorado

2010-06-11T15:40:29Z

Parker Days Carnival

Parker Colorado | Parker Days

Parker Days Starts today June 11, 12 & 13th.

Parker Days is a big carnival held each year right here in Parker Colorado. Kids across Douglas County look forward to this each and every summer.

They set it up differently this year so be prepared. All the rides are now up on the hill away from the center of town. Up by the RTD parking lot.

The arts and crafts and food booths are still in the center of town and in O’Brien Park.

TIPS:

Make sure to bring your own water. Drink and food lines are long and the carnival food stinks. Except the funnel cakes.
Load up on sunscreen. Being up on the hill this year we should have a decent breeze but the sun is still going to cook you.
Go early or late. Mid day is packed. The teenagers inhabit the park at night so the lull between the teens and mid day is usually good.
Strollers are a must for small kids. Especially now that they have moved the rides up the hill from town.

Parking:

Hopefully they will allow us to use the RTD station up near the rides. It looks like behind Parker Station may also be available but they had a guy standing there checking to see if you were a Parker Station visitor or Carnival visitor.

The always good parking across from O’Brien Park on the West side of Parker Road is easy too. Just walk through the tunnel instead of trying to cross Parker Road. Safer and easier.
