Team Ostler: Trip to Sequoia National Park

Trip to Sequoia National Park

We decided on a whim to make a trip to Sequoia National park to see the biggest tree in the world. We went with Leslie and Aedan and it was a blast! I'm so glad that we decided to go. If you live in California and you haven't seen this yet you need to go. You will not regret it!

I think the boys almost liked staying at the hotel and swimming in the pool better than the park! Doesn't take much to entertain these guys!

Sitting in the car for hours with these hooligans was quite a treat! I was ready to pull my hair out by the end of the trip!

Going inside the crystal caves at the Sequoia National Park.

I love this picture of Ben. Seriously, what is going on inside that head of his? Do I really want to know!?

The General Sherman. The biggest tree in the world! It was an incredible sight to behold! The pictures don't really do it justice.

I am not a rule breaker but I really wanted to hug one of these giant trees. They had fences around it and signs saying to not trespass, but I just couldn't resist myself. I know, I'm such a rebel!

This is actually the roots of a giant tree that fell down. Yes, you are looking at the bottom of the tree. Huge!!

We got a little bored in the car while we were waiting for construction on one of the mountain passes. What else are you going to do?!

We were at church and during the sacrament I was talking to Luke about Jesus. I told him that Jesus bled and died for us. Luke looked at me with a very concerned look and said, "Did Heavenly Father give Jesus a band-aid when he was bleeding?"

We were about to walk out the door so I told Luke to go potty. He came out of the bathroom saying, "I can't go! The batteries in my pee pee are dead!"

After Ben finished a big meal he said, "my tummy is so big and full I look like Grandpa now!" (sorry dad).

Ben pointed to a picture of the prophet and said, "That's President Monckley!"

We have a saying in our house. It's "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" But Ben has his own version of this. He says "you get what you WANT and you don't throw a fit!"

Jimmy said that he is allergic to babies. I asked him how he knew and he said that he gets sick when he smells them.

Ben asked me for another piece of halloween candy and I said, "Mommy is ready for the halloween candy to be gone" and Ben said, "Yea, gone in my mouth!"

We were driving past the gas station sign and Ben said, "I see a lowercase 5 on that sign."

I was talking to Jimmy about election day and asking him if his teacher voted and he said that she was "absent" that day. (I finally realized what he meant. She had just mailed in an absentee ballot.)

Ben put a whole bunch of toilet paper in the garbage and I told him that is a no, no. He said, "no it's a yes, yes!"

I tell Jimmy on a regular basis that needs to talk nicely. He yelled something across the room to me and I gave him the look that said I didn't like the tone of his voice and he said, "I was yelling nicely!"

Jimmy and I are listening to "Give Said the Little Stream" and Jimmy says "How does it talk?" I said "How does what talk?" He said, "The stream, it doesn't have a mouth, how can it talk?"
