Really Big Trees

Looks like a nice day for a stroll through the woods, don’t you think?

                   
On the one hand, the kids look so big, so grown-up, so capable; on the other hand, we all (even Jake) look so very small.

            
Naomi demonstrates her best tree-hugging while Logan strikes up a conversation with whoever-happens-to-be-nearby. (This occurs more often than I probably ought to admit.)

Deeper in the meadow, Jake pauses the kids for a quick science observation.

         
Meanwhile I attempt to capture the smaller details along with the grandeur.

Logan stops for a moment to contemplate his place in the universe (or something like that).
  And the kids play hide-and-seek with the brilliant sunshine.

                      
Next we approach the General Sherman tree, the largest known tree in the world (by volume).

         
A few standard tourist shots.
 
Where should we go next?  L:Ooh, I know, I know!  N: That way!
