Incredible! If you are ever in the San Francisco area, make sure and visit the Muir Woods. Quick tip, I would recommend going on a weekday. We went on Saturday and it was pretty crowded but, even with the crowds, it was still very cool. Anyway, the Muir Woods is the home to the magnificent redwoods. If you ever need to feel a little small, this is the place to go.
This is an example of the "be careful!" moments. One the other side of them was a small trail and then a sheer drop, eek!
I'm a huge fan of Moleskine books. The boys each have one that they draw in (or collect stickers or write or whatever). Our favorites are the ones with the elastic closure and the inner pocket. On this day, Sayer used his to keep a record of all the animals and plants that he saw, so cute!
Winter Wren, I'd like to take this moment to publicly apologize. 5 and 7 year old boys are incapable of doing much of anything quietly, including tromping around the redwoods.
Sayer did take a moment to meditate. It only lasted for about 3 seconds. Despite the very frequent "get down from there!" and "be careful please!" warnings, we did manage to soak in some of the magic. It's a truly beautiful place.
This is an example of the "be careful!" moments. One the other side of them was a small trail and then a sheer drop, eek!The view up was so amazing that it was hard to pay attention to much on the ground.
This one is my favorite from the day.

I really want to visit the redwoods someday. They are so majestic. Your photos are great I love them all, but if I had to choose one that I could call my favorite it would be the last. I just love the texture! Thanks for sharing!

I love that last one, especially! You should sell it as a poster. I'd love to hang it on the ceiling over my bed!
