Sure enough- there are!

We took a hike in the shade to get outdoors without the risk of burning-

I don't know why they look so cranky?!























Then there was an awful liv head hits concrete moment and we headed home :(

Redwoods and trains and games....

We went to hike in some redwoods....

Emers was too excited.



Can you tell we miss sunny Arizona?!



Train! We took a train ride up through the redwoods to bear mountain. I LOVED the open air ride. Well, minus the spider that fell on me.



Liv did not Like the whistle! It was loud! Terrified Emers too!



Hilarious picture.
Ira- always smiling.
Liv- covering ears
Me- always with sun in my eyes and me making a face.











Ira definitely enjoyed herself...







Liv got a little antsy towards the end- she was ready to RUN!







Then we went home, had a snack, facetimed with our new newborn nephew and started GAME NIGHT!





Ira so amused with the fact that she is winning (and not because we werent trying).

Cool fallen log...


There were lots of joggers & Ira wanted to join them. She is a fast runner.





Too pooped to participate! ( it was only a mile hike!)


Banana slug (we saw two!)


"What is that?!" said dianna.


No way!


A moss patch the shape of a heart! Way to bring the valentine love redwood!


Emers dragging them around.


Ring around the Rosie.


He kept pointing up at the trees- put I could only snap in-between pics....





A really cool and informative visitor center...

















Train station! We missed the train!





ZOO!

We got there 45 min til closing!
We quickly saw
Lions
The grey seal
Monkeys
Giraffes
Rhinos
Penguins...









Then it was over! Zoo closed. :(

We ate at Beautifull! Such good, fresh, natural food! Tons of fresh perfectly cooked veggies! best red curry I've had in a long time!

Muir Woods

We went on a two mile walk in the muir woods...
The scenery was pretty, but it mostly made me want To go further up north to eureka. the trees weren't as old, and it was VERY crowded and tourist oriented.




Slug on a fallen redwood...





Burls..
