Waterfalls and Rock Climbing






Our first morning we decided to drive up through King's Canyon to Road's End. I blearily went to wash my face with very cold water and met a mother on the way. We were discussing how great the Hume Lake area was for kids and she happened to mention the coffee shop about a hundred yards down the path. I said "did you say coffee shop"? Yes, just around the bend was a Christian Camp for kids that had a coffee shop, snack shop, dinner buffet and grocery store. I made my daily runs for a chai latte and fed the kids pastries for breakfast. I decided I would work my way up to the Coleman stove and was just proud of myself that I cooked dinner every night over the open fire (we did not go to the buffet!).

King's Canyon is a beautiful spot complete with two waterfalls, rock climbing and river rapids. In case you were wondering, we did not do the white water rafting on this trip. The boys had a great time imaging all sorts of figures in the rock walls and never once asked "are we there yet". Adam even made a friend in a very unlikely spot.
