We took Ruby camping with us to Leo Carillo over Spring Break. There was a ton of traffic on the way there, but otherwise it was great. Ruby actually did really well, much better than I expected. We only stayed one night, but that ended up being fine. We made a reservation for the summer to go again right before school starts. There was a creek right behind our campsite that the kids, and Ruby, really enjoyed exploring.

This week was Spring Break for the kids, so Steve and I took off work also. It was great, and so nice to be off. I'm sad that it's over. Monday we went to Irvine Park, Tuesday I took the kids to Color Me Mine, Wednesday and Thursday we went camping and took Ruby, Saturday we went to see my Dad and took Ruby there also, and today we went to Universal Studios.
I'll be adding more pictures, but here are the pictures from Irvine Park. It was a lot of fun, we'll definitely go back. We did the paddle boats, those were hard work! The zoo, the train, brought a picnic lunch and also found a creek the kids had fun playing in. Many of the hiking trails were closed due to mud / flooding from the creek but there was lots to do without the hike. Maybe next time we'll try renting one of the 4 person bicycles.
It seems this year is going by so quickly, it's only 2 more weeks until Spring Break and we're already planning for summer camps. Didn't they just start the school year???
We've been doing really well. A few colds, but overall everyone is healthy. Work has been busy, and the kids have been busy with their scout activities. Silas and I decorated our first cake for the cub scouts Blue and Gold celebration. The girl scouts had a tasting bee event that was really fun. We also took the kids back to Caspers Wilderness park. They got a lot more time playing in the creek, and we got to explore the nature center and the playground.
We're going camping one night, with Ruby, over Spring break. I'm excited, but a little worried how that will go!
We went to Caspers Wilderness Park camping with Silas' cub scout pack last weekend. We all had a really good time. The campsite was very pretty and close to a nice creek the kids got to play in. Silas played football with some of the other kids, and Daphne played some with Kia. We did a hike with the pack, it was a long one and required two river crossings where our feet got soaked. Both the kids did great. The only downside to the weekend was we had to board Ruby, she was pretty nervous and definitely glad to get home.
Over Spring break we're going to try one night at Leo Cabrillo and take Ruby with us, that should be interesting!
