Hot Chocolate, S'mores, and Campfire - oh my!

Jayden's preschool year at Yew Chung International School was a memorable one.  There, we met a group of families that remain special to us to this day.  Every once in a while, we schedule a reunion to get the kids and families together again.  Here are the highlights from our Preschool Family Camping Reunion we had at Plumas Eureka State Park this summer.

Ready, start your hiking engines!

 
Where's the Trail? Blazing Our Own Trail!

Jamison Mine Complex 

 Kayley - don't touch the camera lens!

Meet the J-Dawg, super hiking enthusiast!

Along Grass Lake Trail, 3 hours in,
J scopes out the perfect spot to stop for lunch and skip some rocks

After a 5.5hr hike, it's time for a well deserved soak in the creek:
Lia soaking her aching shoe?

When in doubt, skip rocks

What's for dinner kids?

Sugar "Hi!" from Kayley, Lia, and May

Ice cream?  Aren't we suppose to be "roughing it"?


The whole gang, panning for gold

This is what you are looking for...
Is this enough to pay for my school tuition?
