Kern River

The Belofsky's called last Sunday to see if Shane could join them for 4 days, they were headed to the Kern River.  30 minutes later I looked at Jesse and told him that sounds fun.  We booked the only and last spot available, a 5th wheel.

 The 5th wheel at the campground.  It was nice and spacious, felt like a hotel inside

The kids rode their bikes everywhere, Hailey on her way to fish

 The fishing spot, Shane was bait boy.  Helping everyone fish

We (Joshua and Aidan) caught 4 fish for dinner. 

Joshua and Zack set some craw fish traps and cooked them up over the fire to eat

Pudgie Pie time (a midwest thing), i called them Booty Makers on accident.  I haven't heard the end of that one

Jimma is an awesome cook, even while camping.  The first morning she made a gourmet breakfast for 12 over the campfire.

 Happy Campers- breakfast served

 Boat races in the stream

We kept trying to catch anything

 Minnows were about all we caught

Hailey never gave up

At a fish hatchery.  Shane's knees are on the sign that says, "Do not touch water or fish".

When these 3 get together they like to dance and DJ 

 Trying out all the Belofsky's new toys

We drove up to the Trail of 100 Giants to see the Giant Sequoias

 Hailey was in heaven taking care of Buster

 Our camping group for 4 days.  What a fun, spontaneous, and relaxing trip.

Women’s soccer

We went to the Women’s National Soccer  team vs Mexico.  Wasn’t sure who would have more fans but the USA Pride was overwhelming more.  Tons of people from PV and Shane spotted Kobe Bryant near us.

Hailey knew I was going to take a picture, can you tell

Can’t wait for the World Cup

Carpinteria Group shot

 

Carpinteria Camping

3rd annual camping trip with this great group.  Girls dominate the trip which is so awesome for my kids.  Hailey gets girl time and Shane has to talk to the opposite sex.  Luckily for him the girls are sporty and play soccer, football, tag, volleyball and kickball. 

We had quite a few injuries with all the sports that were played.  Crazy thing, it was the adults that were getting injured, I guess we need to get out more

Derek always brings his toys. Jesse on the clown bike and extreme pogo sticks

Hailey’s favorite thing is biking to the seal sanctuary

Hailey and Hudson viewing all the seals

Always a hit, defacing government property. 

Morning hike to the tidepools

It was so hard to get Hailey to wear warm clothes, she was just go go go!

Mother’s Day morning we all go to breakfast in town and then hang on the beach.  The kids entertained us with a soccer game

 

Mother’s Day Weekend -a memorable one
