Big Trees

Kevin may have lived in California his whole life, but there is so much he hasn't seen! On Saturday we headed over (up?) to the Calaveras Big Trees State Park. We had a picnic lunch just in time for the guided tour through the forest. It ended up being a little long and after Lily was done with her power nap, she was done with the back pack. But it was a great day trip.

She started out pretty content in the back pack.

Slowly she got a little more drowsy.

And finally conked out . . . for 30 minutes; definitely not long enough.

On our way back we stopped for a bathroom break and ended up with ice cream cones. Lily, who isn't allowed to have ice cream yet, was content to play peek-a-boo with Daddy's hat.

She was a trooper for being confined to her car seat for what felt like most of the vacation; a trip from Riverside to Sacramento, a day trip to the coast, a day trip to the trees, and then back down to Riverside. I'm still surprised that she get so excited when I grab my keys and put on my sun glasses; the girl loves to go!
