We got a second week of spring break with these two. I'm glad that we had the whole family together for one weekend, and glad that we got to contine the fun for another week. We had a couple of down days and then went camping at Mt. Madonna with a few other families for the last half of the week.
We went to Pinnacles NP for one of the days and did a couple of fabulous hikes.
First up was a loop up to one of the ridges.
We found some awesome view points,
rocks to climb,
and some fun spots to manuever.
It was a fun hike for sure!
And we got some gorgeous weather!
And then, even though some people were pretty tired, most of us did a second hike to go see the caves. They were a little tricky in a few spots, which made it really fun.
And it got really dark in the middle! I didn't get a picture because I had to use my phone as a flashlight. But it was a great day and we finished it with some really good Mexican food in Salinas--nothing better after a long hike.
Spring camping means wildflowers,
like these Pedros Shooting Stars.
And redwood camping means banana slugs!
We spent our last day at Manresa. Got lucky with good weather there, too. I got to teach a few new people how to play Molkky and Bean and Peanut tried to turn themselves into popscicles in the ocean. Crazy kids.
And our last act of the week was to attend a protest back in Livermore.
Glad we got to have Bean with us before she had to fly back to school.
And glad for the friends and community members who joined us out there. Lots to stand up for right now--we're just getting started.
