Day 208: Muir Woods, 2nd Edition

We took my mom down to Muir Woods (where we went on Mother's Day this year) today to see the local Redwoods. It's one of our favorite places in the whole area that we live in and it always shocks me that such a huge redwood forest can be so close to San Francisco. 

We saw the big redwoods (or like, medium sized, since the BIG redwoods are up north a few hours) down below in the big tourist part of the park and then found a side trail and took off up the hillside for a few miles into the wild. We all love to hike (my mom especially) and the kids brought their slingshots from our last redwoods adventure, so periodically we would stop and Daddy would teach the boys how to shoot the trees down the hill with rocks in their slingshots. Nature and violence? Their day was made. 

And that was about it. Trails, trees, nature. You know how it works. We had tons of fun
