Birthday Trip

J and I went to California for his birthday trip.  After landing in Fresno we traveled to Sequoia National Forest

The General Sherman

           The next day we traveled to Yosemite National Park.

Half Dome

              Part way up the trail to Half Dome we encountered snow, in May!  So beautiful!

 The next day we went to the Fresno, California temple.  It is a much smaller temple than I am used  to, but it was absolutely beautiful!

 The afternoon found us in the little town of Coursegold, California at the market.  Where else are you going to find skis and milk cans?

J was really excited about finding water pumps - he's been wanting one for the back field for years!  Too bad that they wouldn't deliver.
