Nature Adventures

We took a little trip up north to enjoy some of the

beautiful scenic destinations in this area.

We went to the Los Osos Oaks Reserve and

walked the light trails and checked out some nature.

The trees along the trails are awesome.

Some are cool looking

with moss draping the branches

and others are great for climbing.

I was a tree climber as a kid,

that's how I got one of my many broken bones.

So I resisted my urge to hike up the

foliage and opted to take some photos instead.

I really wanted a picture of the boys up in the trees,

but they weren't keen onthe idea...

so they sat on a log on the ground,

eh... still a good shot.

Out of fear of poison oak,

we told Kainoa not to touch any plants.

So Kainoa made sure to tell his brother over

and over not to touch anything.

Keoni wasn't worried as much as Kainoa.

As Keoni was walking, he would be looking down...

So I was smiling at him when he would

unknowingly wonder off the path.

Here they are investigating something.

Keoni was scared or worried about something

and had to tell his brother.

So the boys at this age aren't really the

most cooperative for the

photographic memories I'm trying to create.

As illustrated in this next group of photos:

One is smiling, while the other is not. O'well...

Not too far from Los Osos is Morro Bay.

So we went to Morro Bay State Park

for another view of the coast.

Here the boys are checking out a lady bug.

"Don't smash it!"

Kainoa tells his infamous bug-smashing brother.

Beautiful Views...

A Good Nature-filled Day :)
