Thanksgiving Camping Trip

It is better late than never to post some pictures of our Thanksgiving camping adventure! Grandpa Mark came with us, and we headed to Mt Tamalpais State Park, where we had our pick of campsites thanks to the cooler weather and holiday weekend. 

We went for a hike from the campsite and got to this beautiful lookout, with the big city far in the distance.

Madeleine loved finding lichens, mosses, and ferns and talked about how much Grammie Jean would love them.  We spent two nights camping, and the second night it poured rain.  It was still lots of fun though and the rain made our return home and Grammie's homemade cinnamon buns even sweeter.

Later on in Grammie and Grandpa's visit, Madeleine asked Grammie to show her how to knit, and she got the hang of it quite quickly!

Grammie and Grandpa were here for a few weeks, from just before Thanksgiving until just before our visit to Ontario (which, coincidentally, will be the topic of my next post).
