Taylor Camp and Kehoe beach

Actually it was Camp Taylor. And they pronounce Kehoe a little differently then we would on Kauai…

Last weekend we went camping. Friday I picked up Leilani early from school, and we went to an organic garden in front of the city hall in SF where we met our friend Peter who volunteers at the garden, and Andy who came there after work, and drove to Samuel P Taylor State Park near Point Reyes where we spent the first night.

Dinner

The next morning Leilani found a stump to climb and a boy to play with. He asked her if she was in kindergarden…

We went to the 5 Brooks Stables, where Leilani got to ride a horse named Baldy

Later we walked to Kehoe Beach


Sounds so Hawaian…

… and more Hawaian signs

Rainbows and surf like on the north shore,…

cool kelp,…

pretty pebbles to collect and photograph….

and birds to chase…

Only one thing left to make the beach experience perfect… take off all your clothes and splash around in the cold water… actually she went for a dip still wearing her clothes (she had asked us to take them off, but we initially refused) and we took them off to let them dry.

Sandy hands…

Good thing mommy had warm stuff in her backpack

Say goodbye to Leilani’s wild hair, it will be cut today.

Camp Taylor was full Saturday night, we stayed at a private campground nearby. Nice with warm showers and very clean, but even louder than camp Taylor.

It was cold in the morning. Leilani looks like a baby, all bundled up.

We walked to Abbot’s Lagoon the second day

It was quite a bit further than the previous day. We didn’t have a carrot to dangle, so we dangled fruit leather…

Yay the beach. Andy and I had learned the lesson the previous day and took the clothes off at the first sight of water.

On our way back Andy found a whalebone. Leilani guessed correctly what it was, and remarked she had seen one in the museum.

Good bye beach!

Walking back to the car.

The pretty sunset lasted for about an hour…
