Adventure Playground

I found out about adventure playground a few days ago when Secret Agent Josephine posted a photo on Instagram. My sister-in-law and her friend came with us and my sister drove down with her kids. We got there a little after 12:30 and right after a bus full of kids showed up so it was busy for the first few hours. Porter just wanted to hammer and saw for the first hour, not wanting to get wet.
After he observed the rope bridge he decided he could cross it without getting wet and he did a few times before he fell.
Once he fell in he was fine and went on the rafts and mud slide.
Liesl and Miranda spent the majority of their time on the rafts.

The kids were a wet dirty mess at the end of the day but, they had such a fun time, I know we will be making a trip up again.

Lemonade Stand

We set up a lemonade/ice tea/cookie stand today! The kids made $28! We are going to have a few more this summer and donate the money to their school.

Kirk Creek Campground - Big Sur

Last week we went camping with some friends in Big Sur. Neither of us had ever been up there so we were looking forward to it. Our first night there we stayed in campsite number 13. The site was all dirt and surrounded by poison oak so, when the ranger asked us the next morning if we wanted to move we said yes. The little tent on the right is the one we slept in. We borrowed a tent from my friend because I was afraid we would be too cold in the one we have. Well we forgot to get the poles for the tent so we all had to sleep in one little tent we brought for the kids to play in. We moved to site 19 and it was all grass and overlooking the water.
Here are the kids hiking down to the water from our campground.
 The mornings were so cold but, the kids really didn't mind.
 We had some fun times but after two nights sleeping like this...
 We decided to pack up and drive down to San Louis Obispo and sleep in a hotel.

We just got back tonight from our camping trip to Big Sur, here is just one pic from the trip!
