The Redwoods, Day Three

Monday, May 4th

Stout Grove trail. This is our favorite hike we've done in redwood country.

Beaches north of Crescent City.

The Redwoods, Day Two

Sunday, May 3rd

Jedediah State Park trail system.

Alanna is our little bug lover.

Smith River near our campsite.

We did visit Lagoon Beach in the afternoon, but made it back to the campsite for hot sandwiches over the fire and s'mores.

The Redwoods, Day One

Saturday, May 2nd

Camp site at Jedediah State Park near Crescent City, California.

Enderts Beach south of Crescent City.

We are planning a trip to Canada later this summer to visit some criends, but in order to do that the entire family had to get passports/passcards. We could have had pictures taken at elsewhere for a premium, but instead decided to try and take them ourselves. They turned out ok, other than it looks like we were just incarcerated (other than our precious Molly girl). Hopefully this does not come to fruition.

Daddy's Girl

Thursday, April 23rd

Alanna has grown into quite the explorer. She has always been the child to want to pet and touch everything, but I see this curiosity growing in her all the time. In this picture she is holding a snail while allowing it to slime her entire hand. Alanna wanted to keep it in the house so I had to convince her that it was in the best interest of the snail to leave it outside. She was so sincere, it was very endearing.

Water Table Time

Sunday, April 19th

The water table was a birthday gift Molly had received from Swensons and Edwards'. Today was the first warm day we could use it since her birthday and boy did the kids have fun. Molly was nice enough to share with her older brother and sister, but Mom and Dad had to make sure she didn't get squeezed out. Everyone ended up wet and smiling.
