Weekend Camping Trip

In May we had our annual camping trip to the coast. We have gone the last few years to Memorial Park but it was closed this year. We went back to Portola State Park near La Honda where we have been to in the past. It turned out not to be a very good weather weekend being cold with a chance of rain. We actually left Saturday night with a storm coming in. We spent the night at Gary's house and cooked breakfast there. But we did get over 24 hours of true camping. Below is Gary leading a talk around the campfire about what our fears are. Great discussion.

Some of the different things that we did were play board games.

The campsite as we prepared a meal. Everyone took part in helping cooking and clean up.

Saturday afternoon some of us went on a hike. Exploring the redwoods and the creek is always fun.


We found a rope hanging from a tree along the creek not far from our campsite. Although the water was extremely cold a few brave souls went for a "swim"! Brrrr!

This is the hiking group.

This is one of the best trips we do every year as it is a great time to build relationships and get away from the grind of every day life. The kids always love it. It always builds memories for everyone!
