A little trip to the big trees.

The Redwoods have been at the top of our "must see" list for California since we found out that we were moving here and they did not disappoint!  
We had so much fun exploring Avenue of the Giants and the other areas of the Redwood National Forest.  I only wish that we could have hiked and camped out more but with three littles, it was just too much for this trip.  
The trees truly are as amazing as they look in pictures!  

The tree that we were going to drive through....until our car didn't fit. 



Two things that the kids had on them at all times on this trip: sticks and binoculars.  







Climbing inside, over and around this fallen over tree was amazing!  Cole, whose interest in science is growing daily, was full of questions about mold, roots, bark, bugs and moss. 

My sassy hiker.
Truly an amazing experience!

  1. I've never been to this spot - but I agree the trees are AMAZING! We took some photos of us on one trip and shared them with a friend when we got back to Japan. To this day, Akikosan's father refuses to believe they were real trees. He kept saying it was impossible. LOL
