Redwoods 2011

Every year we take a trip to Northern California and spend a few days in the Redwoods. This has been a family tradition for Christian since he was only a few weeks old. I am so thankful to his parents that we have been able to keep this tradition going.

We were a little nervous traveling with both kids for such a short period of time, but honestly it was perfect. Our little angles/monsters were great!!! We left John Wayne at 8pm and both kids were asleep before we crossed over LA. Getting the rental car etc was a little like a riddle, that we didn't do that great in solving..."How do you get 2 cars seats, 3 suitcases, a stroller, and 2 kids from the baggage claim to the rental car with 1 adult inside and one outside...." UMMM.....

Anyway, we survived and it was nice to "unplug from the word" (no phone service AT ALL for 2.5 days).

Here are a few pictures (didn't carry my camera around much...sorry) from our weekend!

Jonah hanging with the ladies by the river
Always snack time for this big boy! Nice boat ride down the roaring rapids
This little boat was the best! River style play pin

Getting Belli read for a big swim....water was sooo cold so these were totally unnecessary...she just ran in and out of the water bringing sand and water ...etc
