Camping at Big Sur

We went camping to Big Sur and had so much fun!
 After setting up camp, we immediately started the fire. It was COLD!
 Lincoln loved sitting in the big camping chairs by himself.
 The following morning we set out on a short hike at Julia Pfieffer State Park. It was a quick, but beautiful hike!
 I think it's the only place in the United States where a waterfall lands on a beach.
 My handsome boys!
 Ethan really enjoyed running through the tunnel that ran under the freeway.
 There was even a nice little river that ran alongside the pathway.
 We returned back to camp for some snacks. Our campsite had a few Albino Redwoods growing there. Weird.
 Then we set out on the longest hike ever! We didn't realize it was going to be so intense at the time, of course. We hiked from our campsite to Pfieffer State Park and the hike was not all that well-used, and seemed a bit treacherous for my liking -- especially with a three-year-old.
 Once we got to Pfieffer, we took a hike up to see some waterfalls. Along the way, we stopped to take a rest and this gigantic snake slithered right behind where I was standing!
 We made it to the top, and definitely enjoyed the view.
 On the way back, we decided that walking along the highway back to camp was a good idea. Still scary, but less scary.
 Don't you worry, we made our s'mores that night!
 Bringing a high chair was a brilliant idea, Lincoln stayed much cleaner this way!
 On our way home, we stopped at our favorite park!
 We couldn't just drive right be and not take advantage of the red slide.
 Look at these cute brothers.
 Ethan hated the swings when he was little. Lincoln LOVES them!
 We had such a nice weekend, and what a great way to end it!
