River Camping

This last weekend we went river camping for the first time. We have been beach camping, mountain camping and forest camping, but we have now found a new favorite. It was so hot in So Cal, but we kept cool by staying in the river.

The current by our campsite was strong enough that it allowed the girls to float down stream a little. They enjoyed using the tubes to ride the rapids.

 

 

We were close enough to the Sequoia National Forest that one day we drove to the Trail of 100 Giants. We loved hiking through the huge treas and climbing on the ones that had fallen. 

 

 

 

S and J have been wanting to go fishing with their dad ever since they got fishing poles for Christmas. Since we were already by the river we decided to go fishing one evening. We had fun, but unfortunately the fish were not hungry.

We will definitely have to make a trip back to the river.

Pets

We are now the proud owners of fish. Halo and Shayla. I love the names our girls come up with. J has gotten very good at naming all her stuffed animals, and she remembers the names. So far our Beta fish are adjusting well to their new home, and S and J are enjoying taking care of them.
