Last weekend we joined the Gurney's for yet another camping trip! It was great fun and so nice to visit with family... and we got to eat more smores!!! Friday we all went to the mariposa grove of giant sequoia trees in Yosemite and unintentionally went hiking... and hiking, and more hiking. It was a grand ole adventure that we wished we'd had more water for, but when we finally got to the little museum they had a water fountain! (Bless their souls- they must be used to crazy city folk thinking 'only six miles? We can do that with 6 children, a stroller, and not much water in 90 degree weather. No sweat!') But we all made it and I was impressed with the hiking capabilities of the Gurney clan! We got to see a really cool telescope tree that you can step inside and look up to the sky through it. And the tree is still living too! So all in all camping is fast becoming a price family favorite... besides the stinkiness.
Enjoying some pancakes!
Sophie "helping" me do the dishes. Griff sent her in place of himself.
The Tunnel Tree. Appropriately named.

Below is a great group shot at the tree museum that Griff took with the timer setting on our camera.
Here are the BEFORE shots taken with the timer setting. Just not quite enough time.
The campsite we stayed at had a little petting zoo and a pool!
And here are some cute pictures of Sophie... (Okay I think everything of Sophie is cute) where she is wearing the sear sucker dress Grandma Jan bought for her.

How fun I can't wait to go camping, Someday maybe we will. Anyway it's officia we are coming to Canada in Mid july, Sometime between the 15 - 18 and then we're staying for a week or so. So maybe we can get together!
I need Griff to teach me how to use my timer. I thought the practice shots were hilarious. It looks like you had a grand time camping again. What is my problem? I have girls camp this week and the forecast is rain! Ah well. Have Sophie give me some tips on how to keep dry and avoid dish duty! PS Her dress is sooo adorable! It totally says SUMMER!
You guys always have so much fun! You are awesome parents, Sophie is a lucky girl. Your pics make me want to go camping again, I'll have to work on Josh. If you ever want to go together give us a call.
