James' Road Trip - June 26 - 30

Construction Traffic

James flew out on Friday after work to meet up with Uillame and Clinton, who had flown out to Missouri earlier in the day, to load up a storage unit and bring it back to Orem for his parents.  They drove all day Saturday and Sunday.  Looks like there was some slow down in Utah with traffic.  We sure miss James and Ella (who has been in Utah with the DeHarts for the last week).  James and Ella will fly home on the 30th.

Went to see "Inside Out" in the theater in town that re-did all of their seating!  Pretty Awesome!

She has a fettish for any box or container she can climb into. Does this box make her look fat? :)

Came back to Fresno to cool off!

We met up with some of our friends in Sequoia National Park and crashed for the night at their campsite. They had been up since last Friday and we joined them on Monday.  We went to Hume lake to swim at Sandy Cove and then had a BBQ and a campfire with s'mores.  We got up the next day and hiked around and saw some large trees.  We came home in time to unpack, do laundry and cool off in the pool.
