Redwood Forest

the following photos are of our trip the end of March to the Redwood Forest/San Francisco….Via Joes cell phone photos… you remember I said that there are over 1200 other photos just from our camera so beware this is just the beginning!  Photos are just such a fun way to remember, and believe me I think we take more than anyone I know!

  the Redwoods were AMAZING!!  definitely a trip all in its own!  We wish that we would have had more time to spend there, it was still rainy and kinda cold most days so we didn’t get to hike a lot.  Here the boys are on a fallen down tree, they are so huge you really have to be there to appreciate the size and beauty.joe cell stuff 792joe cell stuff 772joe cell stuff 800joe cell stuff 821

You can’t really get the best view from in the car, so Joseph and the kids rode on the top while I drove down this dirt road for a while to get a better view and soak it up!
