Cousin Megha's 5th Birthday

Princess Megha turned five!

Camping @ Portola Redwoods

On Oct 4-5, we camped at this beautiful park less than an hour drive from home, along with a number of PACT families. It was raining when we get there on Saturday morning, and rained for a few more hours before the sun showed its face. The air was incredibly fresh and smells delicious from all the great, big redwood trees and other plants. Kowsik and the boys managed to pitch the tent in a drizzle and kept the inside dry!

We found three banana slugs around our group camp site. The one was crossing the street.






The boys went on hikes, climbed trees, built forts with branches, had stick fights, and got really, really muddy and filthy :) We had a blast!





The kids even put on a show after the Sunday fire-side breakfast. Here is Niles doing a stand-up joke :)
