Good Morning!

I did have a good night sleep at the campsite. Good morning campers! I was the only one awake. I decided to explore the area. I went for a hike.

Here are some pretty pics that were taking during my short hike. I can't really go hiking for a long time since the Boy Scouts have a lot of scheduled activities. Still feeling grateful for the short time that I had to explore the beauty of the lake and it's surroundings.

More Camp Photos

Here are the Boys Scouts admiring nature - the stillness, the quietness and the smell of the surroundings. It was nice to see the kids appreciate their surroundings and completely detached from their electronic world back home. I know our family is a big fan of those electronic devices. What's not to love about it. But once in a while a downtime from the electronic work is good.

Daddy paying close attention to make sure hydration is also important. Everyone was well hydrated while at camp.

Mommy and John walk.

John showing me the stage where they used the last time they went to a day camp.

Here's the stage up close, where the boy scouts will have their skits.

Glug! Glug! Glug! The kids missed the smore and campfire. They were to exhausted! As our downtime, we played Forbidden Island. Did we win?

No!

Boy Scout Camping

Happy Birthday 42!

My 42nd birthday was celebrated with the Boy Scouts. We went camping on my birthday! We were at Sly Park. It was beastly hot at back home that when we reached the campsite it started cooling off.
Pollock Pines was 10 degrees cooler than home. Sweet!

On our way to the campsite, we drove by Jenkinson Lake. We can only see through the lake. I looked gorgeous. Hope I get o see the lake up close!

This picture was taken after we unloaded our camping gears. See how exhausted our little helpers were... See John's BIG smile.

After a few mins of hard work, the BARN is finally up. This was the first time that the barn was out in summer of 2014. We need to work on getting the barn out more often. It's not too late. We can still find some time to camp.

Here is the inside of our tent...4 sleeping pads, 4 pillows and 4 sleeping bags. Here's hoping for a good night sleep at the campsite.

Camp dinner is ready! Not the traditional camping food but it works. These were left overs from my birthday dinner and birthday lunch, Salad, fillet mignon, steamed veggies and mashed potato. Like everyone said, food at the campsite always tastes better even if it is left over. And I agree! Yum!

Steep Ravine

This is the second year we camp at Steep Ravine. It's such a hidden gem in here in N. Cali. We've been looking forward to this trip. On our trip we met a family that's been going to Steep Ravine for 30 years when there were used to be 12 cabins. He recommended to check our photographs taken by Dorotea Lange.

Here we are about to leave home. We are loaded up with snacks and movies!

It has been a tradition to stop by our favorite Thai Restaurant before we head to the cabins. Here are some of the food that we ordered. Yum!

Here are some of the pretty scenery on the way to the cabins.

We finally made it!

While we are at church one day, Kitty borrowed my pen and got an old church envelope. Look what she came up with...

Big Girl Teeth

Today KFL Girl's baby teeth are finally gone. Thanks to her dentist! We've been pulling out her milk teeth but was unsuccessful.

We were going to resort to the rocket ship but Kitty refused it. See video below for the rocket ship concept.

So we finally went to her dentist to have it removed.
