Entering the world of the giants

The only way to see the park is with the top down and the head way way way back.






How do you take pictures of people and trees? Lie on your back of course.






I love the forest and these trees.

Sequioa june 2009

Shortly after entering Sequioa National park we found the tunnel tree. There was so few people there that we parked in the tunnel for a photo op.





General Sherman in the largest tree in the world based on volume of the trunk not height. And he's still growing. I was impossible to photograph the whole tree and the people too.

The tree in the photo had fallen. The path we were on just passed under the tree with the cool little creek.








This tree had fallen decades ago. The early loggers use the hallow of the tree for a cook house. The hallow was over 100 feet long. Life as a hobbit.





General Grant tree is the national christmas tree. Don't ask me why. I didn't see even one decoration.

Fun with the Patriarchs

One of the most fulfilling observations in a parent's live is to see that your children are wonderful parents. Devin loves his two kids so much.





Fabulous Finley....all dolled up for her special blessing day. Such a cute dress. I am not sure she thought the days was as wonderful as everyone else did.








Grandma and Grandpa are so happy to spend some time with their grandbabies.






What a beautiful little family.









Finley and Mommy.

We went to Devin and Rachaels for the blessing of Finley. After driving for 12 hours I was feeling kind of bloated.

It's always fun to see children and grand children. It was a bit cold and windy for me at the beach but that didn't seem to stop Crew or Devin. Rachael was so patient with us and all of the traveling to Seal Beach, which by the way was part of Trent's Long Beach mission.
