Okay, here's the drill. We camped, we hiked, I took eleventy bazillion pictures, Thomas got Junior Ranger badges and there was car trouble. There was a forest fire. It was cool. Well, all except the car trouble & the fire. I won't re-cap in excruciating detail. Here's a bunch of photos from our first full day in the park.

a sugar pine cone and a giant sequoia cone - the smaller one is the giant sequoia.
I wish this wasn't blurry, because it was supposed to be kind of a cool shot.

mommy's little sniperThomas kept 'shooting' with his stick at all the cars that drove by the log.
We saw squirrels all over eating & hiding these green pine cones. I have no idea what kind they are. Pardon my minor obsession with the pine cones. This isn't the last you'll see of it.

Looks like fun! :) How many pinecones came home?
None! Thomas is very serious about the Junior Ranger thing and would never let us get away with taking anything a National Park. That pinecone has to stay for his children and grandchildrent to enjoy. Ahh . . . can you smell the indoctrination?
