Agate Beach...

Our next (and last) stop was at Patricks Point State Park in Trinidad, CA. It's where we originally wanted to all camp at but there were no sites available. We'll have to try and find a site next year or so. :) So, the first hike we went on was down to Agate Beach. It's about a 1/4 of a mile down to it but the trail was pretty well maintained. Once we all got onto the beach we spent time looking for agates. The weather couldn't have been better and we found lots of rocks. Makenna even found lots of "Makenna-nites" as her Oldpa calls it. Too cute. :)

We stopped here first... it was on the way and I forgot what it's called!!

Walking down the trail....

The agate search.....

I think she likes the ocean. :)

One more picture from the top... It was beautiful!!

We're not done yet, folks! See you soon!

Lunch on the beach....

After the walk in the Redwoods we all hopped in the car and headed south toward Trinidad, CA. On the way there we all stopped for lunch on the beach! It was just a small area right of 101 but it was so pretty. We enjoyed sandwiches that Jeanie had made for all of us and took some pictures of the kids.

Makenna has been on the beach before but I don't think we've actually let her play with the sand.

Or feel the WARM sand in between her toes....

Gage is taking a break. :)

Mr. Ashton cheesin' it up.

"Look Mommy & Daddy!!! BIRDS!!!"

Makenna enjoying her time on the beach....

She like to put sand in her hair. We didn't mind.

Making a "sand" angel. :)

Makenna with her adorable hair (that's finally growing I might add) sticking up in the air.

Patricks Point State Park coming up next!!

Hike in the Redwoods....

Dale and Jeanie told me that they don't "sit well". Um.... THEY MEAN IT! When Howie and I go camping, we relax on our rumps, drink beer, nap and be lazy. Isn't that what camping is all about? Well, after breakfast and the kids playing we headed out to Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park... say that 3 times fast. :) It was a beautiful walk through the forest and we took a lot of pictures!

The trees were gigantic!!

Family photos.... :)

Checking out the trees....

Sitting in a huge tree stump... err the roots???

Every opportunity we had to take pictures... we did. :)

Makenna started getting a little cranky at this point. I had to mock her.
