Redwoods!

Our first CA road trip was actually to Oregon, but on the way, we checked out the great California redwoods! A-mazing! Speaking of amazing, look at Jess' super human strength as he holds up that massive tree!

This is the first of three drive thru trees that we drove through. The girth of these trees is seriously impressive!

Crazy kids on a crazy big log.







This was one of our rest stops. Look how clear the forest floor is. There was another grove that we went in that was really dark as soon as you stepped in. Nighttime would be really frightening in there.

Matthew is dwarfed by these monstrous trees.

This little tree house was at the second drive thru tree. The second tree was not quite as impressive. It was leaning over, cracked and held up with cables.



Tree # 3. We were the only ones at this one, so we got our money's worth! We drove through like 4 or 5 times!




We loved this drive! It was breathtaking. We found some really neat places that we'd love to go and camp at and explore. Hopefully we can get back there soon!

Wow that sure looks like a fun trip! That's hilarious about the "poking dead things with a stick" Happy Birthday to Matthew! And awesome work with Lexi! It's my least favorite part too! (and I like how you noted 'so far' as I'm sure we are in the easiest years :)
