We went camping on private lands deep inside Sunol Regional Park. This Ranch belongs to Auntie M's in-laws and has been in the family since the 1930s. That's why it's deep in a regional park in the middle of the bay area. And they were really nice to invite me and my savages out there. The picture below is before we pulled out of our driveway, nice and clean.
Less than an hour later we get to the Ranch and the first thing Jake does is play in the dirt. 
This is what he looked like all weekend.
The rest of the weekend was spent drinking beer, eating a ton of food, shooting cannonballs out of a homemade cannon and throwing rocks into the creek. Mostly a lot of beer and throwing rocks into the creek.
That's Bekah's rock-throwing face.
We chilled watermelons in the creek old school style.
Jake made a new friend this weekend. This is Henry, a 9 month old labradoodle and he likes to fetch rocks. He actually holds his breath, sticks his head under water and retrieves rocks. And Jake thought that was the funniest thing he had ever seen in his life.
Look at Henry's face dripping with water as he waits for Jake to throw another rock.
The weather was just perfect, not too hot. After swimming and rock-throwing all day Saturday. Most of the camp four-wheeled over the hill to watch fireworks across the Santa Clara Valley. By Sunday my kids were filthy and exhausted.
I had a great weekend buddy, how about you?

I love the picture of the kids in the car. I think Bekah looks like you in that pic.
Thank you so much, nobody ever tells me I look like my kids! It's always my husband.
Hi. I have a blog at www.picturecamping.com where I feature people's posts about camping, and I would like to send my readers your way. Of course I would give you credit for quotes and would link back to your site.
