This weekend Maureen booked a trip for fathers day to Kings Canyon. We stayed at a great Lodge in the middle of the woods. Maureen booked our stay at a great place called MonteCito Lake Resort where the kids had a lake to fish in and canoe on, swimming pool to swim in, campfires to play with and make smores etc.
We ofcourse also worn them out with trips to see the local scenery such as the majestic superlarge Redwood and Sequoia trees. They are quite different! These trees make you feel miniscule, and when you see them within the forest surrounded by 'regular' trees it feels as if you are seeing a mamoth.
One of the days we went hiking to Moro Rock within the park. A great morning hike. Nikki (2yrs) and Luke (4yrs) both walked all the way to the top of the granite rock. This was several hundreds of stairs and many adults looked flabbergasted as these youngsters passed them.
Back at the camp/lodge we did some fishing in the lake. With thousands of fish trying to eat the pieces of bread it was possible to get some fish by fast scooping. Both Nikki and Luke had loads of fun by catching some.
To feed my soul I ran one early morning on a bit of a steep climb and in thin air, think a bit about the future and the past. Can anyone guess which song was blasting on my iPod ;-)
A big thank you to my Queen Maureen for organizing this great Fathersday gift!
