We arrived in San Jose, California at 2 am Saturday - and when we woke up a few hours later and found 90 degree weather, our first order of business was to seek refuge in the shade of the most awesome trees in the world.
Tess packed a fun picnic - and we had fun running around in the picnic grounds since we were the only ones there.
 |
| Best friends at first sight! |
 |
| After about an hour we finally started out little hike among tree giants. |
 |
| This tree trunk is so old that it goes back to the time of Christ! |
 |
| Jordan, this is what pregnancy feels like, 24 hours a day. |
 |
| Although this looks similar to the cave that Catniss and Peeta seek refuge - it's actually the inside of a TREE!!! |
 |
| The girl's favorite part was following the path to hunt the next number in the tree parade. |
 |
| The girls were instant best friends. Our first morning, Laney came in the room and said, "Lily, come play!" Lily, who not only usually struggles with waking up grumps, but is also shy at first, jumped out of bed and without hesitation, ran out of the room with Laney to play. |
 |
| Inside yet another tree! Brad and Jordan could easily stand up in there. |
 |
| After about a 1 mile hike, the girls were exhausted. |
 |
| Even the girl who didn't walk one step was exhausted. We all napped well! |
