Oh the redwoods aer so beautiful

What a great drive in "The Avenue of the Gaints." If you haven't visited the California redwoods it's a must see. Jim and I have Toby, Cory and JoJo with us they are our furry kids. We are relaxing tonight in our Motel which is a nice place for dogs to stay.

We stopped and took the kids to play in the eel river. This was a first for them and Toby and Cory loved the river. But, JoJo wasn't so keen on the water he stayed on the shore and watch all of us in the water. JoJo does hotels and spas not motels and rivers geezzzzzzzzz there always has to be one that's different. We lov'em all no matter what their likes and dislikes are.

The kids are out cold next to me while I am writing after their long long day. Jim's enjoying the big cozy chair in the room. One more walk outside for the kids and we out for the night!

One last note we stopped at a gem and mineral shop and I purchased some minerals to tumble when I get home. I can hardly wait to see how they turnout. I have nevada turquoise, agate, opaque opal and jasper to tumble when I get home. It will be fun to see what I can design after the are tumbled and polished. OK I am off to walk with kids and enjoy the evening...
