Seth and I took a little trip up to Phoenix then to Fresno, CA this last weekend. We left Tuesday after noon and stayed with my grandparents. Seth had a NAPA meeting Wednesday morning so while he and my grandpa were at work I went shopping with my grandma. We had dinner with my great aunt Wanda and uncle Harold.
We left for Fresno Thursday morning. The last time that I was on an airplane I was three years old so I would equivalate this to my first time flying. It was all fine and dandy until I realized that the plane was ITTY BITTY! I seriously felt too tall for this thing. Like it was meant for children under the age of 10. But we made it.
While we were in Fresno we went and saw the Sequoia's. Those trees were so unreal. They lived to be 3,200 years old, 312 feet tall, 40 feet in diameter! Seth and I are the little spots near the base of the tree. The park has a very nice trail and display of the world's largest tree. They need to work on their bear proofing. We saw not one but TWO bears on this half mile hike. They were after pine cones that were falling from the trees. We managed to scare them off long enough to walk past and see what we were there for. It was all worth the car sickness that I suffered through on the forty-five minute drive up and down the mountain.
After our little escapade to see the Sequoias we went to Trevor and Torri Shipman's wedding. (We met these two on our cruise and have kept in touch.) Their wedding was beautiful! I have plenty of pictures and stole lots of ideas! We had a lot of fun.

Thanks for sharing your trip with us all...it's great when we stop doing the "ordinary" stuff and do something fun once in a while.
Those trees are incredible and I remember feeling so very small next to them all.
Glad you had a great time!
Uh, bears??? NO WAY. You are too freakin' brave. I would've been haulin' tail back to the car the second I saw one. Yikes!
By the way, you look great & your hair is AWESOME!
Looks like you had a lot of fun! And I'm with Kris....I would have ran from the bears!
Seth's a big dummy and threw pine cones at them, walked right in front of them, and managed to find time to stop about ten feet away from them and take a picture! I was all about staying away from the bears!
Crazy Seth...guns are for bears--not pine cones!!!! Glad to hear you made it out alive and well and that you had fun! What a cool place to go--I've never been...can't wait to see more pics!
Ps--Love your short hair Jos and missed ya on the run Sat!
