Biking Adventures

Took the older grandkids for a bike ride to downtown Carmel.
The town has several life-like statues scattered around the Arts district.

A Policeman

A guy reading

A woman walking her dog

A child watering flowers

A musician

A father & son

A grocery shopper

 Rainy day couple

A daydreaming woman

A sailor & nurse

A dad with bike riding child

There are some other sculptures as well,
like this fairy

And this puzzle head.
its fun to explore and find all the art in the area.

Fall Break Day Trip

We took a trip to Columbus Indiana to visit the Kidscommons Museum.

 A kid-sized door!
 In the bubble room

 Surrounded by a bubble!

 Learning how to use a robotic arm.

Ate lunch at an old fashioned ice cream parlor.

Across the street to an indoor playground.

Pretty cool!


The best part, going down the giant toilet!

Park Number 45 - Kings Canyon

Also in the Sierra Nevada mountain range but south of Yosemite,
is Kings Canyon.

The General Grant tree is there, 
the second largest tree in the world, by volume.

The park also features Kings Canyon, 
a beautiful drive down the mountains to the Kings River.


The drive is very scenic and bucolic.

This is Grizzly Falls

We stayed at the Cedar Grove Lodge along the Kings River
and enjoyed nature.

It was a magical place!
