Jungs (Jim, Claudia & E) in Sydney, Australia
Put it on, and they will come!

4th of July Camping
After much hesitation, haggling, weighing the pros and cons of taking a baby camping, Claudia finally relented and we went camping with my side of the extended family. It was a relatively short excursion to Kings Canyon in Sequoia National Park. We camped at Lodgepole camping ground, right next to an amazing, ice-cold, fast running … Read more
