Camping in Bridgeport, CA

On our way we stopped in Bishop...Zoe fed the ducks. She said she saw "four"...
I love this photo! Out little one is all grown up!!!

The boys fishing...they caught quite a few.

Smile Zo!

Best family photo from the trip :)

"Swimming" in the Creek (more like a river this year...)

Swimming with Steven

The views were amazing!!!

One of the baby fawns that frequented our campsite...

Reeling in a big one! (the great thing about kids' poles is it comes with a little rubber fish to tie onto the line...)

" Fishing"

Playing contently in the screened portion of our tent :).

We hiked to a waterfall...it was roaring!!!!

I spotted this beaver in a tree near our campsite and really couldn't believe my eyes!

In order to get an up close and personal pic of the beaver, we needed to cross this tree trunk that went over the creek. Wendy got a little hung up :)...

Sooooooo....David to the rescue!

Zoe's REAL fishing spot

David helped Zoe fish...

Reel it in...

"Come here fishy, fishy, fishy"
(Too bad we had no luck with Zoe's pole)

Our camping trip to Bridgeport was a success! It is always a bit nerve racking when you have to travel with a 2 year old...did you pack enough clothes? enough food/snacks? milk? toys? etc... Everything was in abundance, so Zoe did so well. Her sleep schedule was a bit off, but we expected that. She had her allergies act up at night, so she coughed a bit throughout the night. We had just reached the point at home where nothing was impeding on her sleep, but oh well! The good time, was worth the exchange of a little sleep deprivation. We are still working on clearing up the allergies, but we'll get there. We spent Fourth of July up there and went to the small town parade. We actually ran into one of our former students! What a small world!!! The parade was cute and Zoe got candy, flags, a frizbee, and bead necklaces. She liked watching everything go by, except the firetruck because little kids squirted water at us and her shirt got wet. Zoe went fishing for a very small amount of time and didn't catch one, but she sure did have a nibbler. I think the highlight for her was "swimming" in the creek. Like everything these days, she was slow to warm up to the idea and by the end of our trip she was laying on her tummy and kicking. One day we went up the road to the Twin Lakes and hiked to a waterfall. The waterfall was roaring and it was so neat. Zoe wasn't thrilled because it was really loud, so it scared her a bit. We also went into the ghost town of Bodie...that was really spooky! All in all it was a good time and I am sure Zoe will get to go camping there again someday.
