Going Home

We are leaving the Redwood Forest and heading home. It got extremely hot! 109 degrees! It is time to STOP the VAN and look for a place to get wet and cool off. Justin, Jesse, Aaron and I found a crystal clear river and jumped right in... yes, with clothes and shoes on! Wow! It felt so good! It only took 20 minutes to dry off in the heat. After lunch, kids needed a break out of carseats. We found a city park and played... but some of us took a long needed rest. After the break we started for home. We made it home about 11:00 p.m. Thursday night. It was a trip to remember and now only a memory. I guess we will have to start planning our next adventure for next summer!
