Memorial Day Weekend Camping Trip

We got together with two other families and went camping over the holiday weekend.  We went to a great campground on Jenkinson Lake in Pollock Pines.  It was a weekend of wacky weather but full of good times and good friends.  And if you think it looks like we are wearing the same clothes all the time, you are right.  It was mighty cold at times and our hats and jackets were almost always on.  Even with the cold and the evening of rain and hail, it was my favorite camping trip. We had two sites next to each other.  We put the picnic tables side by side to make one eating area. Our view of the lake from our dining area. Feeding the ducks and geese. S'mores! The lake late one evening.  Travis took a great pic. Jenn and I ran the 8 miles around the lake. Adorable kiddos in a field of flowers. The kids on a hike, minus Zoe. She wanted to be on the bridge by herself. Wearing Luke's hat. Luke and his bud, Emerson in the hammock. Throwing rocks in the water. Attempt at a family photo with both kids smiling. Huddled under the pop up tent during the rain/hailstorm. Nap time on daddy's chest. There is a little waterfall a short hike from the campsite.  We hiked there on previous trips and wanted to do it again. The water is cold. Exploring. Emerson's Dad found some frog or snail eggs.  He wasn't sure.  They were cool. Second attempt at family photo. Third attempt. Buds. Great scenery. Buds. Last night of s'mores. The gang.

Luke graduated from preschool! They had a frog themed last day of school and Zoe got to participate as well. Luke is getting ready to perform in a little program. He had the important job of turning the CD player on and off. Luke and his best bud, Emerson. This is a shot of the boys on the last day of school in front of our house.  The one below was taken on the first day of school.
