Well, Pippin took his first little road trip yesterday and we explored some new landscapes!
After church, we headed up to Hot Springs and into Sequoia National Park... not exactly what I'd expected, but very beautiful. Pippin was REALLY good in the car; we all got out for this first glimpse past Hot Springs....
Then the road started to wind quite a little bit and we got higher... and Pippin decided to climb up on the bin of maps and blanket in the back. I commented that I couldn't do that because it would make me carsick and Erik said he never got carsick. But apparently Pippin takes after me because when we next stopped he had thrown up. Poor guy. But the view was pretty and he decided to alternate between watching out front and laying down after that.
So it was clear sailing from then on! We wound through and discovered a beautiful waterfall
and stopped at a pretty little spot for a picnic lunch.
Saw people leaving to raft the river and coming back from camping and fishing... found a little offshoot of the river that was shallow and Pippin swam for the first time!
We passed through Kernville and then Lake Isabella (where we stopped to grab yummy shakes from this place:

A Lovely Day :-D
