They Might be Giants!

Day 13 and 14
By far this was our favorite campsite.  The REDWOODS surrounded us and the kids couldn't believe how big they were.  They are so beautiful.  We went to this tourist trap where they have a statue of Paul Bunyan and Babe his ox, and low and behold Paul talks.  There is actually a man in this huge statue that personalizes each conversation.  Alexa was so excited about this that she started flapping, Paul commented,"Wow, you are waving with both hands!"  It was fun!  We loved crawling through the trees trunks and riding above them on an sky tram.  We viewed an ospreys nest and oohed and awed over the chain saw sculptures.  Hurray we officially made it from coast to coast! 
The beautiful Trees of Mystery!
Climbing through tree roots!
Redwoods Grow trees out of existing trees.  Here is a fallen tree that has three more trees growing out of it!  Cool huh!
Chain saw sculpture!
This picture cracks me up! They were trying to see if Dwane was right when he told them the trees were so tall that they couldn't see the top!
