Our California Trip

Well, I had a little trouble narrowing down the pictures from our trip to California. We saw and did so many special things on this trip so just a few pictures would not do. On this trip, we enjoyed visiting with Evan's Great-Grandma (Sherry's Grandma) for her 85th birthday, and we also saw Yosemite National Park, Napa Valley, San Francisco, and Muir Woods. We did all the typical "touristy" stuff and enjoyed capturing all of these wonderful memories for Evan to remember!

Happy Birthday, Grandma!

Making her wish.  I think she got it!

Evan loved helping Grandma open presents. 

Photobucket
He was so attached to her the whole week.

Photobucket
It was love at first sight. 

Photobucket
And he had fun with Aunt Lorraine too. 

Photobucket
We had a big party for the birthday girl.

Papa got to see his favorite niece, Terri!
Yosemite National Park

Yes, there was still a lot of snow on the ground, but it was surprisingly very warm as we hiked to the grove of Giant Sequoias.

Mommy and Evan checking out the big trees. 

Photobucket
So tall. 

Photobucket
This is how Evan hiked.   When he got tired of walking, he would just say "It's shoulder time, Daddy!"

Daddy and Evan and a big Ponderosa pine. 

Photobucket
We made it!  It was a couple of miles in this deep packed snow.

Evan was so silly.   We just love that kid!

A forest fire had recently done some damage in the valley.

El Capitan and Half Dome were still covered in snow. 

Photobucket
It was such a majestic view.

Papa enjoyed the trip too.

Yosemite Falls was really flowing.

Evan loved this little bear rocker in the gift shop.

I think this is one of the coolest pictures I've ever seen.  My hubby really has talent with a camera and was able to capture our signature wine glass with the grape vines showing through it.  


Photobucket
Can you tell Evan was happy here? 

Photobucket
Playing peek-a-boo with Daddy. 

Photobucket
Hiya!

Mommy and Daddy enjoyed tasting some champagne while Evan helped us eat the chocolate off our strawberries.  


Photobucket
Yum!  My fav!

He was trying so hard to be brave to pose for a picture in this tree.
