Camping at Coyote Lake...brrr

Marking the first day of summer, the Kress brothers headed out to Coyote Lake in Gilroy for an over night camping trip. We crammed a ton of camping gear into the Pilot, picked up the Chang twins from school, and off we went. Things immediately starting going down hill when Alexa became ill from sitting in the third row with motion sickness.  Luckily she had a cup to catch her lunch and the campsite was only a quarter mile away.

The kids and I got out at the park entrance and hiked in while Sun picked up wood for the campfire. The fresh air from the walk was wonderful and we set up camp. But things kept popping up to make our trip a trying and interesting one. Part of the tent broke when Austin and Koen were playing Kung Fu Panda. The temprature plumeted as the fog rolled in and an icy breeze kept us all bundled up. The hardest part was Jaden crying unconrollably during the night. So Jaden and Daddy ended up sleeping in the car.

Despite the extra work and suffering on the adults, the kids had the time of their lives in the wild and that's all that really matters at the end.
