Day 5...

This morning before we left we headed up to see Hetch Hetchy... we figured you have to see what the controversy was all about during the time. We were surprised that you could walk out on the O’Shaughnessey Dam.

The moment we arrived in Kings Canyon/Sequoia NP we LOVED IT!

We had a cute little cabin from the 1930’s... complete with shower a very much needed shower... as night time fell the carpenter ants... an inch long... no joke, started coming in as well. So yeah... squeamish kiddos already with bugs outside were now freaking out with them inside. So glad they were extra tired and zonked early because there would have been NO WAY they would have stayed there. Us parents were up til 3am scooping ants into the toilet... they even crawled out of it?!?! We then crammed Kleenex into all openings and seemed to keep them at bay and dozed off sometime in the night.

Definitely has been an adventure!

Next morning I let the management know and they are helpless in the fact that the ants are considered animals of the park and no harm can be done to them under the park protection. Am glad to have a campsite the next couple of nights... where we have mesh covering us.
