The Grand Canyon

Our next stop was The Grand Canyon. It was breathtaking!!! I had heard about it and had wanted to go my whole life. Now I have seen it!!!

The folks from Down Under said that it was very majestic. I agree!

This trip has been great and I look forward to the rest of it!

Sequoia National Park

These were some of the little folks from Down Under playing in some snow. They loved it!

This tree is called General Sherman. The diameter of the foot of the tree is 36 feet. That's HUGE!!!

I heard the folks from Down Under saying that a person looking up at General Sherman is equivalent to a mouse looking up at a six foot person!

This is the 'average tree.'

They saw three bears in a meadow! That must have been pretty exciting!

On the road to Needles!!! (As I said before, I much prefer Sequoia because it is a lot cooler there. Needles is hot!)

The folks from Down Under had fun at the campground pool in Needles.

More to come...

Yosemite National Park

I am having SO much fun!!!

These are the folks from Down Under, who talk funny (Ok, I think you get that by now). They have been taking great care of me. The waterfall that is behind them is called Bridal Veil Falls.

This is Bridal Veil Falls up close. Very pretty!

I love the folks from down under, but they are a little strange. They get all excited over a little squirrel! Squirrels can be very annoying and they are everywhere!!! I didn't quite understand why they got so excited over a squirrel until I found out that they don't have squirrels in the Land Down Under. I guess I would be excited if I got to see a Kangaroo!

They have the fluffy white things too! (By the way, if you didn't notice, I'M IN THE PICTURE!!!!)

The folks from Down Under took a walk to Mirror Lake. (Half Dome Rock is in the distance.)

Update

This is me being filled up with water by the folks from Down Under, who talk funny. I'm getting used to their funny talk. I'm really hot in Needles. Much preferred Sequoia: a lot cooler and with snow!!! The folks from Down Under loved the snow!

Bakersfield

This was me at Bakersfield, California with the funny talking folks from Down Under.

A Whirlwind!!!

Whew! These past few days have been a whirlwind! It all started on Friday. We started driving at 5:30 in the morning. Only the big owner people (mom and dad) were in me. It was strangely quiet... I heard them talking about the little owner people staying at their grandparents house. Must be a fun place, because whenever I heard them on the phone they were talking excitedly. We drove until we got to Arkansas where a relative lives. I recognized the house as the mommy owner's sister's house. We had visited this place before! We got up real early the next morning and left at 6:00. The next time they turned me off was 26 hours later and I saw a sign that said "Los Angeles." I drove 2,517 miles!!! Then this family, that I had heard a LOT about from listening to the owner family's conversations, was touring me. They were really nice, but talked kind of funny! I think they were from the Land Down Under... Then the big owner people disappeared!!! I heard this new, but nice, family talking about them going back home. Then this family drove me to Bakersfield, CA and spent the night with me there. The next day they woke up feeling more rested than the day before, but still a little tired. They must want to see America, because they drove to Yosemite and that's where we are now. Wow it's sure fun to back on an adventure!
