Camping trip...part 2

We went on a walk in the Redwoods
This was a really old tree, dated back to Jesus's life on earth 


All the kids inside a tree that had been struck by lightening 
Running on our walk in the redwoods, loved their energy!

Then we went to Sunset beach.

We found tons of whole sand dollars on the beach

Mason's turn 
So funny, I looked behind to find Mason holding the kite while laying down and talking with William.  She really did miss her naps those days! 




Back at camp for more bike riding 




Mark bought lights for each of the kid's bikes.  Hard to see, but they are wrapped around and glowing!
