Camping at Big Trees, Ca

Nick had to use up his sick days before December, due to it being UPS's peak season, so he took tuesday the 19th off. We decided to go car camping. (Yes, Nick does camping and paying at a camp ground). So monday after I got off of work we headed down to Big Tree National Forest in California. We got in late, so Nick had to put the tent up and bed and sleeping bags up in the dark. I was keeping Hunter hapy in the nice warm car. Once that was done, he started a fire for dinner ans S'mores.

This is how Hunter looked while he was sleeping!

Nick and his huge marshmellow

Yes, they are huge. It took 4 bites to eat the smore.

Here's Hunter in the morning. This was all you could see of him.

His nose stayed warm, do to sucking on his binky all night and blowing out the warm air.


We were very happy to have the carseat in the tent with us. After nursing him, he did want to go to sleep, so we would put him in the car seat nd transfered him to the bed when he was a sleep.

Tuesday morning we got up and had camp pack up by 9am. We got on the trail for the south grove by 10am. This grove has a lot of Sequoia Trees. I forgot how tall and round they were. It was a 5 mile hike and we all had fun!


Our campsite!

We had a grand time! Hunter did great and wasn't even cold, even though it was freezing at night. We were happy to be able to get outside before winter comes. We can't wait until Hunter is bigger and can take him back!
