Nelder Grove

For Memorial day weekend we headed up to Nelder Grove for a fun weekend of camping with the Sapps. We went up on Friday to get a camping spot and it rained on us all day and night. Lucky for the Sapps the rain had stopped by the time they got there on Saturday. On Saturday while we were waiting for our friends we headed out to find Meghan and Kaleigh who were cleaning trails with Camp Fire. We found them at Shadows of the Giants, but we walked the whole trail without seeing them. So we waited by their cars, apparently they had left the trail to look at some pretty waterfalls. Some pictures of us hiking.
Here we are at the end of the trail... we surprised them with our visit. They had no clue we were going to be up there. and I believe my mom and sister are telling me that I am crazy for hiking. They thought I was trying to make myself go into labor.

Back at Nelder Grove.....
Tanner had just gotten this Batman coloring book on our way through Oakhurst on Friday. He sat forever looking at it. He even started saying Batman, which is a real big deal for Tanner.

On Sunday afternoon we were visited by my Mom, Meghan, Kaleigh and Brendan. They stopped by before they headed home. While they were there Grandma started a snowball fight with all the kids.... boy did she ask for it!
In this picture Brendan and Tanner were making horrible noises. Which, as you can see, they thought were really funny.
And if you go to Nelder.... you have to climb the giant stumps!

More pictures from our campsite....
My man chopping wood, I think he is smokin' hot!
Four pairs of shoes lined up by the fire.... must mean that four little kids put their feet in the water!

Before we went home Ellie and I took LaShay and Mason to see the Bull Buck Tree. It is a nice easy hike. I have hiked this trail many times growing up and I love it! It is definitely worth it to see this beautiful huge tree!
