for the first time since we moved home to santa cruz, we went camping! a three minute drive and $30 dollars later, we set up tent in the redwoods. our trusty tent was a snap to put up (thank you, hardings!...we remember that awesome, tent-christening camping trip we had with you when brooklyn was still in beth's tummy!), and we broke out our cast iron and made dinner and breakfast over the fire. our friends the watkins joined us for dinner and smores, and we breathed in the campfire smoke and chilly autumn air. sleeping was challenging, especially since the night-watch owl kept as vigilant, and vocal, as ever. but it was tremendous.

i have pictures, but my computer's being cranky, so they'll come later.
