Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park

We celebrated Fourth of July this past weekend and took the chance to meet our friends, Gilad and Kirsten, once again. They had the wonderful idea of meeting somewhere between Eugene and San Francisco and we settled on Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. We planned to leave Eugene on Friday, but due to Clemens' flu symptoms, we decided to give him another night to recuperate and left on Saturday. Andrin was a great trooper in the car. We drove to Grants Pass and took a lunch break. Around 3.00 pm, we arrived at the campground and set up our tent and headed down to the river. Gilad and Kirsten arrived around 6.00 pm. It was just a wonderful weekend with great company, many laughter, not much to do, and lots of time to enjoy with Andrin.

Getting ready for the car ride. Andrin did not have a lot of room left ...

Studying the park brochures with Papi.

The campground was right by the Smith River.

Andrin and his favorite person in the world ... Gilad. He kept asking for Gilad, even yelling his name all over the campground.

Enjoying some egg in the morning.

Showing off his rock-throwing skills to Kirsten.

Papi was big into boat-building. Of course for Andrin.

And Kirsten kept herself busy with rock towers.

Gilad kept asking Andrin "zeige mir deinen bauch" / "show me your tummy."
