Kernville again.

So,
    Last weekend we headed out to Kernville for a little fishing and relaxation. On Thursday Grandpa G and I left to do a little solo fishing. I didn't catch anything the whole trip. He caught a few minnows. We traveled up the canyon a bit to get out of town. The river was really low but it was pretty.


On our way back into town that night we came across a few deer by the road.


The next day the ladies, kids and dogs were set to join us so we headed out for a longer drive up the winding canyon before they arrived knowing that they would definitely not be in the mood for more driving and winding roads. We ended up at the Trail of 100 Giants in the Sequoia national forest.

One fell down 2 years ago and I stood on top of it from one end. The other end is way over there.

So hard to get a good shot of the sheer mass of these trees.

Helps to have a context.
Everyone else arrived in the afternoon. We had some bbq and and early birthday for Aiden.







The rest of the trip was spent walking around, eating amazing food, fishing and relaxing. Pictures.




Z Kept trying and trying to catch something.

She even did the "here Fishy Fishy" Shuffle

No luck for anyone except grandpa.

Even his luck wasn't very good.

Till Next Time,

Looks like a great and relaxing trip. Happy birthday, little Aiden. You got some minions!! I'm sure you are anxiously awaiting Grandma and Grandpa C.'s rendition of "Happy Birthday to you!"

Those giant trees never fail to amaze me. Too bad the fish weren't a little more impressive in scale but it seems you still had an enjoyable time being in the great outdoors. It's wonderful that family is close by.
