L is for light hearted.

I’m not scared of the “fun police.” They are like the tooth fairy, Santa, and other such nonexistence nonsense. So, any time there’s fun within my reach, I grab it!

Here’s just a few of the enjoyable stuff I’ve done the past year—ones that I have photos to prove I was having fun!

On May 23, 2010, I had fun making my Panda and Grizzly pose on the table at my favorite campground on McClure Pass in Colorado. 

That night, we enjoyed a campfire with new friends from British Columbia. It was such great weather that we sat out until about midnight.

I wasn’t so light hearted when we woke up to snow the next morning.

In August of 2010, I had fun riding a horse at the Pipefitters Local 208 picnic. 

So, who has the biggest behind, me or the horse, and who has the prettiest ponytail?

That same month, I had fun swinging in the park at the annual picnic for members of Colorado's BMW Motorcycle Club.

I had fun taking a photo of the ranger and his rescue horse Boomer as they traveled through the Bonita Canyon Campground on December 24, 2010, at Chiricahua National Monument in Arizona.

It's December folks, and see all the green leaves? We came home a few days later to snow and 20 below.

During my birthday camping trip, I hiked to Zapata Falls on May 1, 2011, and had way-cool fun sitting on the ice flow. 

The falls are just outside Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado.

A few days later, I cooled off again as I had fun running through the sprinklers at the Fruita Campground in Capitol Reef National Park in Utah.

And, the latest thing to bring light-heartedness to me is my little Honey Bear (aka Hotstuff), just adopted on June 20. Her and Panda are BFF!

Being light hearted is zany!
