Crecent City!!

 This past Sunday we went on another adventure, we went and visited Crecent City.  Kades group had been working up there and he told me it was really pretty and that I would like it.  I love that he thinks of me when he sees places, because he is always right!  He knows me too well :)  On our drive up to Crecent City, we saw the elk again.  They always hang out around the same spot.  And man! they are growing!  Their antlers are getting bigger all the time.  There were a whole bunch of bulls this time, in this herd, and no cows.

 I'm excited to see how big they are here in a month before we move :)

 This is one of the many many large redwood trees out here but I liked the big round knub that I could stand on :)

 OK, LOOK AT THIS PICTURE VERY CLOSELY!  Kade is standing on the left side of the tree, down there above the ferns, he's in a cream colored shirt.  That shows you how big the trees are!  And my camera would only fit 1/2 of the tree's height! Thats right 1/2!!! HUGE TREE!!!

 These tree were also really neat.  They grow kinda crazy and they are all covered in moss, and they are beautiful!

 This is what they call "The Big Tree"  pretty origional right!!?  The height is 304 feet tall, diameter is 21.6 feet and the age is estimated at 1500 years old!  

 Kade is down inside the remains of an old stump. 

 When we got to Crecent City, there was a beautiful little rock formation by the docks and it was one of the prettiest things I've ever seen.  It just comes right up out of the ground but its really easy to climb up on.  It probably sits about 50 feet up out of the ocean, so you can really look out far into the ocean.  And we saw WHALES!!!! It was so FUN!! We were so excited to finally see whales!  We were sitting there and Kade said," I think I just saw a whale come to the surace, because I saw the water stream that they blow up"  so we watched for a few seconds longer and sure enough, they kept coming up to the surface! Super fun!  And the above pic is when we were climbing around on the rock, looking at things, I liked all those green ocean creatures :) and the barnicles sticking on the rocks.

 One of my most favorites of all time right here!  I set up the camera for this pic and I love how it turned out!

 We got to go see a really neat, old, (still in operation) light house and these flowers were right by the light house.

 This was on our drive as well.  We stopped at the Trees of Mystery gift shop to take a picture of the giant Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox!  It was so fun.  They were huge too!  I am sitting on Paul Bunyans right toe, with a cute little boy, because he wanted to be in the picture with me :)

 We can finally say that we drove through a tree!  I still can't believe that the hole of where we drive through is only half the width of the tree! Unbelieveable!

 These lovely little creatures hang out all over the place, and they make themselves quite comfortable indeed!

 This was on the way back from Crecent City and man, what a beautiful sight! It truly reminds me of how much God loves us to give us such a beautiful place to live and enjoy!  And it reminds me of the power that was used to create it. Only the power of God could create a sight like this!
