Sequoia National Park

Photobucket

well, we had a free week before all of our fall planning starts with Athletes in Action. we decided to have one last hurrah, and take a big family trip.

<span class=

camping in california seemed like the most obvious vacation seeing as how we just moved to colorado, and being 6 months pregnant with 2 small boys.


<span class=

we spent the night in vegas on the way out, and the boys had an 18 hour movie marathon in the car.


<span class=

we saw the world's largest tree and plenty of wildlife.

i'd call jack "wildlife."

<span class=

finn spent much of his time in the backpack carrier... one of our best consignment sale purchases ever at $30 (second only to the $20 stokke).


<span class=

we hiked, had campfires, drove around, took $3 showers, and splashed around in waterfalls and mountain streams.


<span class=

the water was seriously cold and the weather was seriously perfect.

<span class=

the sequoias were really big.

after 3 days and 2 nights, we were off to santa barbara and the beach!
btw...we also decided on a name during our looooong drive. check it out in the sidebar!

oh! also...there are now 3 little birds in the tree on my banner!!!

What a great trip! Those trees are huge! And congrats on picking a name! I can't believe you're already 6 months along! It seems like you just told us about him!

california definitely seems like the most logical destination..haha! looks like theres going to be a new 'baby asher' (as wags likes to call the youngest williams child). i completely 100% approve of rowan! i love love love the last name/first name thing. the boys look great and i miss your entire family! maybe i can call and chat sometime next week during my long drive to school?
