Gold Country Camping - Part 1

We recently got back from camping in Amador County.  We had great weather, a nice campsite and the kids had a great time.  What a great way to spend spring break.  On Thursday we went on a tour of an old gold mine.  Let me tell you ... this was right up M's alley.  We rode in this car thingy down into the mine.  That night Brian asked M if he remembered how far we went down into the mine.  He quickly said, "550 feet."  He is his father's son and has such a memory.  I've been getting so many questions from him lately.  "What is gravity?  What does paradise mean?"  Why is there 2 types of crying?  Happy crying and sad crying."  And on and on.  He's a sponge.  K especially loved riding in the car and pretended she was on the Indiana Jones ride and raised both hands up on the way back up out of the mine.


They aren't looking but it's still cute.



"Cheese."  Safety zone.



She tried to sit on his lap but it was too hot.



Panning for gold and gems.



M was so excited that he found something on his very own.



And so did K.



The kids wanted a sourvenir so they got a little microscope to look at their gems.



K didn't quite get it at first.



 
Silly boy.  He put K's sunglasses on ... trying to be funny.



S'mores time.  Camping is so much fun.



K's pouty face.  We see this face a lot ... anytime she doesn't get what she wants.
