Sequoia

 This place was pretty cool, but after awhile the kids were trying to be smart alecs about how we were just going to look at yet another tree.  Lucas was my biggest fan and would get really excited to see the trees with me.

All the little kids would run around the tree and come tell us that they saw a troll on the other side.  Come to find out, there were right.  There was a lady meditating on the other side while of us were hollering and screaming and running around the tree.  I have to admit, her concentration was impressive, even when I bust a gut uncontrollably when I found out what the "troll" really was.  Or WHO the troll was.

These boys were the cutest.  They were loving the great outdoors.

This girl makes the meadow look good.

I love that these two are such good friends.

Yup. We got plenty of dirty looks and a lady would cover her mouth with a mask every time she passed us.  Michael yelled out to her that we were all vaccinated but she put it on anyway.  One lady said, "that's what birth control if for," as she walked past.  Jokes on her. Lol.  These comments didn't upset me or even sting.  We fought hard for these babies and I am more than proud of this big beautiful family of ours.
