The "Haka"

Dear Family,

I hope that I can now "post" on the family blog spot.  Thank you, Jared, for making it possible.  I loved being with all of you for a while in October!  It was such fun to see all of the precious grandchildren.  Hopefully I can learn how to add pictures, etc.

Love,

Grandma Callister

Kings Canyon Nat'l Park

Grandpa came to visit and when he was here, we decided to take him to Kings Canyon park. It is home of the General Sherman, the world's largest tree. Sequoia trees are relatives of redwoods and are much wider and stockier than their taller cousins.

Just fooling with some of my camera settings.

Despite the mud and dirt, Norah insisted on sitting down, so we placed her on a slightly cleaner bench.
