sequoia national park

school started at the end of august and since then jeremy and i have been a little busy, hence the lack of posts again. now that we are starting to get a routine under our belts, i am able to post about our trip to sequoia over labor day weekend. it was a great 3 day trip and we really enjoyed the beautiful sequoia trees and the amazing views.
here are a few pictures from our trip to sequoia:

the drive up (we climbed moro rock)
making lunch in the park out of the cooler in the trunk...good thing the bears didn't get our food.
sweet view huh?
there were huge trees-compare to the building in the background
crazy people climbing trees...it really bothers me when people think it's ok to do these kinds of things.
crazy amount of people trying to get their picture taken with the general sherman tree

us with the largest tree on earth
scale model of the base of the tree...the bricks show how big the trunk is-and i'm in the middle
me with my hunky husband


this one's for you hannah lynn! this is on top of the auto log (people used to drive on top of it)

we made it to the top of moro rock!
i'm such a tree hugger
this is jeremy driving through a fallen seqouia the "tunnel log"
it was a fabulous trip-much better than just hanging around in Visalia-way too hot there and nothing to do :)


we stopped in Fresno at Dutch Brothers Coffee for some sweet stickers and good coffee. we heard about this place from some friends-and let me tell you-these would be great in MI :)
