Kids will explain and explore the life of the Giant Sequoias and the rituals of the Black Bears that almost everyone sighted. Bring small pieces of your natural world to make a delicate mobile (or just use what you find in the park). Click on image below for the simple how to.
Those who didn’t get to make Pine Cone Art last week can do it this week. Come watch a slide show of a dozen of your very own M&B families in the Sequoia National Park. * (M&B Campers bring your memory cards or send me images ahead of time)*
Mudpies&Butterflies Annual Sequoia Family Campout was an amazing adventure! Potlucks, all-family Talent Show, Crystal Cave tour, close-up bear sightings, gorgeous hikes, lightening night shows, Bucks walking through camp, one hour of thunderstorm & hail, powerful family time, Kaweah River rock jumping, Tokepah Falls grandeur, and yoga before the Largest Tree in the world (photo on left)!
In preparation for Mudpies &Butterflies’ semi-annual Family Campout to Sequoia National Park, I will share how these magical giant trees reproduce – and how it differs from other Coniferous trees. It takes blazing fires, a perfect topsoil and protected forests to ensure a new Sequoia gets a start towards becoming one of the 
largest trees in the world (by mass). Due to the brilliant architecture of each Sequoia, the older trees are almost completely impervious to forest fire damage. 2010 M&B photos illustrate the fun & wonder. Forest in the Fall and Desert in the Spring. Check our family campouts in Joshua Tree Nat’l Park in 2009 and 2010.
