We took our official first camping trip as a family (with kids that is). We borrowed Beach Grandpa and Grandma's tent and camping supplies... And their big van to fit it all!
We went with our dear friends- The Utu's. And luck for us, Mailee and Niko joined our van for the ride up. It was perfect- they keep our kids entertained so the ride was very pleasant. Here's a picture from one point in the drive when they were all asleep at the same time!
Niko was generous enough to give Hailey a lollipop...
See was very pleased!
We meet other friends at the camp site in San Simeon. Some were Jeff and Lisa's friends from either Bend, OR (their current home), Menlo Park, CA (their previous home), or Long Beach, CA (original home). And one of Jeff's friends brought a pig to roast! The kids were fascinated, as you can see. He's prepping it for the BBQ in this picture. Rosemary, sesame oil, salt, pepper, onion, and garlic. And steamed sweet potatoes. So good!
Jeff and Jason!
Here's Hayden entertaining the kids before dinner. I think he was dancing silly to make everyone laugh. And he made sure he stayed up to try the pig. And I unfortunately didn't get a picture of the cooked pig, which looked much more appetizing than the raw piglet above!
The next morning we headed to San Simeon pier right across from Hearst Castle. Both kids got very little sleep- so Hailey fell asleep in the van on the drive down and missed the beach entirely.
But not Hayden- no, he'll never stop for a nap! Even when he really needs one.
And he always makes sure I get a picture of him running.
Digging with Mailee and Niko.
Hayden's very pleased with himself because he sat in Niko's hole he just dug.
Bucket races!
