Maddy, YaYa, Baba Birthday Camping

Sly Park Campground, Pollock Pines, CA


Ned asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday.  How about doing all my favorite things? Camping, Ned, Maddy, Wolfgang.  I can’t think of a better way to bring in my 63rd birthday. 

We were able to snag this sweet little spot near Jenkins Lake.  Maddy couldn’t wait to get out of the car and start exploring. 










Maddy helping Baba park Wolfgang.  She’s a natural! 















What a perfect fall day. The temp was in the mid-70’s.  Great weather to check out the lake.  One of the best thing about having grandkids is they keep you feeling young! 













We went on a hike, collected wood, fed the ducks and birds that came to visit our campsite and even managed to get in some book reading time. 

















No promises mom on returning a clean child:) 
























Although we tried! 













Camping food is the best. Yum, burgers and corn - and does that girl love her corn!
We finished off the meal with the birthday cupcakes that Maddy made me.
















Getting settled in for the night with stories from Baba.  (Although we really aren’t expecting to get that much sleep).  A little someone is a bit too excited to be sleeping in the van with YaYa and Baba.
