Camping in Banning

This weekend we went camping up at Banning State Park. We had a blast up there. A lot of hiking to do. There was so much to see and not a whole lot of time to see it all in. We went up there Friday night and stayed through Saturday. We were going to stay up there through Sunday but it was too hot out. We were literally sweating like pigs. YUCK!!

This is our campsite that we satyed at. Not too shabby if you ask me. Rather quite nice. The bathrooms and the showers were right behind us.

This is the other campsite that we got. Kevin, Emma, and Andi stayed at this one.

How many gummy bears can a chipmunk put in his mouth??

The answer is 5.

This was our visitor that we had. He was always around somewhere. He was eating bread, graham crackers, and if you haven't guessed gummy bears!!

Here is everyone taking a breather on one of our hikes. The park is by an old quarry area so it is very rocky.

This is an old building that is over 100 years old. There used to be a train that ran right along side it.

I've never been this close to a deer before in the wild. She really didn't even care that we were there. CRAZY!

Everyone lounging at the waterfall. We all thought it was going to be bigger than what it actaually was.

There is a porcupine up in this tree. It was hard to get a good picture of him since he was so far away. This is the only alive on that I've seen outside of a zoo. I have seen on dead on the side of the road.

That is our camping adventure. We had so much fun that we think we might do that again real soon!! We enjoy being outside and sitting by the campfire at night telling stories.
