Roughin' it



We've been a tent-camping family since our oldest was six months old. I don't know where the passion comes from. We come from long lines of non-campers. But there's just something about the majesty of it all. Or maybe it's the adventure of the road trip. Or maybe it's just the chance to hang out as a family. Our latest adventure: Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Forests.

 Boyden Cavern (stalactites!)
My hubb draws General Sherman, the largest tree in the world.

 Building fairy houses (my boys were all about it!)



 This is Kings River. The breaks were mesmerizing.


 Is that a cave? No! It's the inside of a fallen sequoia tree!


The best part of this trip was that, since we are studying Native American History, the whole trip counts for home school days! Yay! (Kings Canyon and Sequoia share a rich Native American History)
