Camping at Calaveras Big Trees

We where invited by the Reddins to go camping.  Yey!  I had never been to Calaveras big Trees. The weather was perfect. We needed a break. So off we went.

Loved camping on the edge of the meadow. Star gazing at night was amazing

Lots of Big Trees at Calaveras Big Trees lol

 

 Off we go for a little hike on the trails

Sarah with Madeleines penguin she gave Lilly.  It was with us the whole trip

 

Good friends

 

This stump was crazy big. 

 

Boys will be boys

 

BFFS

Since there was so much to know Sarah brought a guide and I nominated her our tour guide.

Hot day = tired people

The cool thing is these trees are so huge that you can walk through them once they have fallen. 

Alot of the trees had lightening damage 

This is on our way home we stop several times to refresh and have a beverage. I think we just dont want to say good bye and end our time with friends.

 Toot is all pooped out she has had lots of adventures on this camping trip. Lots of kids to play with, critters running around and lots of walking.

happy to be heading home for a shower.

Beautiful golden hills and blue skys of California
