Beach trip



You figure it out!!!!

Haley and Hannah couldn't get enough of the waves.

Here's proof that even old people enjoy boogie boarding!!!

Ben enjoyed digging holes with the shovel.
The girls at Moro rock in Moro Bay.
We had a great time exploring caves, hunting little crabs and playing in the water.  It was pretty cold...good thing we found a wet suit rental place.  That really saved the day.  The hotel was awesome. Lighthouse suites in Pismo.  We played alot of ping pong, badminton, and life sized checkers.

Camping in the Sequoias


If you look very carefully at the top of the rock you can see people.  This is Morro Rock, and yes, we climbed to the very top.  The path was narrow and steep.  451 stairs to the top.
The view from the top....AWESOME!!!
Now that is a big tree.  The car seems so small in comparison.
We had a great time climbing all around Grizzly Falls.
Emily found a snake and decided to have a snack.
This is an awesome fallen hollow tree that we climbed through inside and out.
Grandpa and Grandma Judd joined us for part of our trip.  The sequoias are so tall and beautiful.


There were great climbing rocks all around the campground
Haley and Hannah spent much of their time burning sticks in the campfire.
So what did you notice first, the dirt or the marshmallows?!

Ben chopped all of our wood for the campfire...Not!!! But he did have fun swinging the hatchet.

We have decided that camping in the sequoias needs to be an annual event.  We had a fabulous weekend in the mountains amongst the tall trees.  What made the weekend even better was the running water and the flush-able toilets!!!
