Family Trip to Sequoia National Forest

This weekend we took a family trip to the Sequoia National Forest. It is only 1 1/2-2 hrs from our house, and it was such a fun escape. It is really impossible to grasp how huge these trees are without seeing them in person. If you ever have the chance, I highly recommend going. They are the biggest trees in the world!! It made me wish I had a camera fit to take pictures here (guess what I am asking for 4 Christmas)

We saw 3 bears, one was only within feet on the kids and I. Of course we were eating our food. I said to the kids "Grab your food and RUN!!" and we ran the other direction. All the time the kids food was flying out of their boxes, leaving a trail. LOL!

Love this pic of Ethan and daddy (he is such a daddy's boy) by the overturned tree



Look how tiny we are compared to this tree!
