We left the Pacific Northwest for the Redwood Coast last Thursday for a mini vacation and a mini Humboldt State reunion with the Rhoads' and the Beard's. We rented a beach house and settled in for a long weekend of strolling down memory lane. It was like being home again.
 |
| Our first stop was Simpson Reed grove in Jed Smith State Park. Lucas climbing on top of a fallen Redwood - about 10 + feet high. |
 |
| Walking the length of the fallen tree. |
 |
| Frances was really enjoying the tall trees - every picture her head is tilted back. |
 |
| Big trees |
 |
| with big roots |
 |
| The beach below the rental house - Agate beach |
 |
| Lucas and Brayden chasing the surf |
 |
| The first day we just hung out, walked the beach, and relaxed. No one wanted back in the car. |
 |
| Fairlight and Brayden - Everyone else was up at the house sleeping while we combed the beach. |
 |
| cliff jumping! |
 |
| Perfect afternoon for playing with the hose in the front yard. |
 |
| Most of the kids :) |
 |
| My babies |
 |
| This is a carved cedar tree about 4 feet off the ground. |
 |
| The Beard's in Lady Bird Johnson Grove |
 |
| The girls |
 |
| Half of the Burbank's - the other half stayed behind at the house cuz someone had an upset tummy :( |
 |
| Fern Canyon - I really wanted Lucas to see this - he really loves his dinosaurs. This is where Jurassic Park was filmed. |
 |
| Roosevelt Elk at Gold Bluffs Beach |
 |
| The Samoa Cookhouse. I love Randy's face in this one. |

| As a Park Ranger I never condoned this - as a parent - it was totally cool! |
