Visiting the Big Trees
It seemed that everyone was behind a camera on this particular trip. It is a lot of fun to share hobbies with your children and photography seems to be a interest for all my kids.
We picnicked, we hiked, and we craned our necks to see the tops of the sequoias.
Here are the bottoms of some sequoias.
Here are some tops.
It is our tradition to take a family photo in this particular part of the forest. Using a tripod, we set up the camera with the timer. We did get some great family shots with the six of us, but I think this one is my favorite shot of all the kids.

At this time of year, the forest is a delightful place to take a hike and spend family time. As my family grows up, I am appreciating more and more the time we all spend together exploring and making memories.
Thanks for the fun day everyone.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. I don't think we have trees like that where we live. I love nature hikes with my family.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful day! Love the big trees.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! It has been over 13 years since I have seen the "Big Trees". They are so beautiful and amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love the shot of your kids looking at the camera. :-) What wonderful memories you are making! And, you'll have it all preserved... on film... I mean, digitally!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful!! I was just thinking about our upcoming vacation to Sequoia here in a couple of weeks. My boys (7&4) have been talking about our trip for months now! They are so excited to see God's great creation. Any tips on Sequoia? We are staying out there for 4 days in the lodge. Hoping to see some snow too. :o) Thanks for sharing your beautiful pics!
