Into the Wild

Jerry had a day off yesterday so we decided to take the kids up to Diablo to visit his parents who are camp hosts this summer at Colonial Creek. Abby was very excited since the last time we went camping (is it called that if it's only for a day??) she was too little to remember. We had a great time, ate some hot dogs for lunch, salmon for dinner, and lots of watermelon! Trey loved being able to walk around everywhere. I think everyone took him for a "walk" at some point in the day, but it's more of a "take two steps, stop for a pinecone" kind of walk. He stopped at every single pinecone and either picked it up and threw it or smashed it with his foot. Needless to say he never made it far on his own. We also put the kids in the stroller and took a walk to the other side of the camp and while we were there three huge trees in the camp came tumbling down! Nobody was hurt but let me tell you, if three trees fall in the woods and there are people around to hear it, does it make a noise?? It sure does!! SNAP CRACKLE POP KABOOM!! Very cool. Abby had slept on the way up but wore herself out and started asking to go home in the middle of dinner so we left in the early evening and the kids both slept most of the way home and then into bed they went. A very fun day for us that we can hopefully repeat at least a couple more times this summer.
