La Playa

On our way down to the beach, we met a friend who came to greet us "Hello!"
There was so much kelp laying on the sand and Miles wanted to take some home for his nature table!
Uncle Bob played with the boys.
Darrien & Miles collected water to start building with Aunty Jen.
Even Aunty Jen had some fun in the sand!
Uncle Bob picked up some kelp for Miles.
"Can we take this one home, pleeeeease?"
I had fun taggin' my name with the kelp!
"Here's a smaller piece of kelp to take home!"
Darrien and his mama working hard on their sand creations.
They made sand castles.
Dengs made hills.
The beach truly is nature's playground.
Uncle Bob started burying them in the sand.
We got a kick out of it.
Uncle Bob started burying the both of them in the sand.
That was pretty funny too!
And then, Uncle Bob chased the boys and pretended to throw them in the ocean!
We got a good laugh at that!
Then it was Miles' turn to be thrown in the ocean.
Darrien got back to work with his mama.
After all the hard work, the boys wanted to destroy the flower.
Darrien then helped his mom make himself in the sand.
Darrien & his sand twin.
Build the sand twins & then destroy them...
Darrien took a stroll on the beach, until...
...Uncle Bob chased him with a bucket of water!
Darrien ran for his life!
Miles wanted to help Dengs & get Uncle Bob.
The sun was going down so it was time to go back to camp.
Good bye beach!

The Hike

As we hiked, the boys made plenty noise--in order to scare away the mountain lions.
Being in the forest made us feel powerful.
We were in awe.
Miles was amazed by this giant redwood that had a little nook he could fit in.
Darrien was ready to see the waterfall.
"Mountain Cats!" exclaimed Darrien.
We hiked up the mountain.
When we reached the top, it was beautiful!
Bobawts!
Nanay was pretty happy!
We saw baby redwood trees too.
"Oh yeaaahhh??!!" chanted Miles & Dengs, amusing the other hikers around us.
We also met a squirrel friend.
Justin put that walking stick to use.
Dengs & Miles had their own walking sticks too.
And finally, we reached the waterfall.
The boys climbed right up to the waterfall.
They put their hands under the waterfall.
Then after awhile, we headed back.
Miles got tired and asked to hitch a ride.
So long Pfeiffer Falls!
These boys had fun making noise up the mountain to scare away the "lion cats."
We'll be back for this hike next year!
