Pa & Ma come to FRESNO!

My parents came to Fresno last week for a little visit! It was heaven to have them here for a few days. Brian didn't spend much time with us because he's such a worker bee, but we had a blast. We went to Yosemite National Park one day to see the huge Redwood trees, to Monterey & Carmel one day, and shopping around Fresno one day. The night before they left, Brian and I stayed at their hotel room until 2 AM. When we left I was pretty darn upset. If you know me very well, you know I'm not much of a cryer, but boy did I shed some tears :( I love moving around and all of the experiences we have - and I really do get comfortable & used to where we are - but then I get a glimpse of what it's like to be with family on a regular basis and it breaks my heart. If you have family around, or fairly easy access to family - seriously try not to take it for granted, it's a huge blessing.

We went out to an old town called Clovis one afternoon and saw this wall - so I thought we should take a picture and it turned out cute, but a little awkward...should have crossed my arms or something :)

Dad & Mom at lunch at Olive Garden! Look at those beautiful smiles!

We ate lunch at Bubba Gump in Monterey & Forest's suit case, chocolates, and shoes were just sitting there by the bench :)

My little deer friend....he just crossed the road and walked right past us...my camera is not zoomed in for this picture. He's a little buck too...you can see the start of his antlers.

Standing in front of El Capitan...it's a rockclimber challenge that lots of people die on...I won't ever try to climb it, but it sure is awesome :)

Standing at a Redwood....this was by far not the biggest one...they are INCREDIBLE!
