Trees and Family


We headed back down to California at the end of June. After a couple of days relaxing in Modesto, we decided to take a day trip up to Calaveras Big Trees. I always forget just how amazing the forest smells in early summer. Then that first wave hits, and you can't help breathing in as deeply as possible.



Gayle, Joshua, Mary, and I took the main loop trail through the North Grove, a gentle trail that's a mile and a half long. It was so pleasant to walk among the trees.




We met back up with Dave and enjoyed a leisurely picnic lunch.
 Mary had fun trying out the camp chair. She's a natural.



On Monday, the whole family was in town, so we enjoyed time together including a family dinner that evening.
