Camping

The Smiths braved their first family of four camping trip a few weeks ago at Samuel P. Taylor State Park. It's a beautiful place...think camping at the feet of a redwood grove, next to a stream. We camped with folks from our sunday school class, so there were plenty of kids to keep the girls busy. Abigail and Olivia were obsessed with keeping themselves in the dirt, and both had a ball. The adults even had fun too, except for about two hours one night when Olivia decided it was play time and not sleeping time. We spent Saturday at Drakes Bay. It was a non-typical northern CA beach day with the sun out for much of the time. The big kids had a blast finding sand crabs and strange looking worms, then flying kites and playing in the waves. Jeremy even brought his wet suit and braved the waves for a little while. What a special time together as a family!
