The Log Cabin Lodge

We returned from Fallon late Sunday night. On Monday I kidnapped Gus to take him to "lunch." My mom came over to watch the boys. He got a little suspicious when we headed onto the 5 north and when we started over the grapevine, he was even more suspicious. It was so fun. I didn't tell him where we were going, I just drove on :) But it was a fun car ride of uninterrupted talking and debriefing after our long trip from the weekend before. After about 3 hours we arrived to the Sequoias! We pulled up at a B&B and I asked Gus to get the luggage from the trunk. To which he said, "we have luggage?" It was so funny! There is this family that lets Seminary families stay for free in their cabin. It was super relaxing and o so pretty! We originally planned for just one night but we changed that to 2 nights. My mom did wonderful with the kids and overall it was so much fun!! Here are my favorite pics from that trip...

After unpacking we headed straight for the park

I LOVE big trees!

We stayed until right before the sun was setting

Then we went to dinner on the river (the river ran along the patio and was beautiful to listen to)

We stayed in the Rosebud room

Here is a picture of the place-it was so quaint & cute!!

The Log House Lodge

Then the next day we headed back into the park to see General Sherman, which is the largest and oldest (?) tree in the world. It was pretty cool! We hiked around for a few hours.

Here I am standing at the base of a very large fallen tree

I love waterfalls

We saw lots of this

And of course had to drive through a tree!

We also saw lots of this. So beautiful!

Isn't he cute?

On our drive home, passing a nearby lake. Goodbye Sequoias!!
