Pictures from our camping trip to Samuel P. Taylor State Park:


This is Oliver in a tree at our campsite. Parker found the big slide on it and one day Parker and I played a game because of the log in front of it.



This is the log that Parker and I used for the game. Parker would slide down the big slide and go over the log and while he does this I walk across the log. Then Parker goes up the big slide and waits for me to come around the other side. When he sees me at the top of the big slide, he slides down and goes on the other side of the log. I jump down, and the game starts over.



At the end of the game (Parker was going over the log too early), he played around the two trees that created the big slide, and got his hands a little messy!


This is Oliver scooping the Tomales Bay water (for some reason it was black...!) into the bucket to make the Sand City lake.


This is the river next to the campsite, and the many logs that created a Good Bridge to go across the water. First you have to cross the log that I am standing behind, then jump into the water and walk to the sand. There's another muddy place in the sand, so go in the water again. Then there is a little peninsula. At the end of the peninsula, there is a small stream, and on the other side of the stream there are four logs that create a "4". Go on the log that is closest to the other side of the stream. Then scooch along the log that looks like it is poking Eran. There's a huge rock at the end of it. Jump onto the rock and then onto the large sandy area next to it. The way to get back is exactly the same—just be careful when you step onto the first log.
