Kim the homeless guitar genius

                                This is a bad picture but a good story.  Did you ever get that e-
                                mail about the grubby dressed guy in the New York subway
                                playing violin and nobody notice? It ended up that he was
                                some famous violin player with a million dollar violin, but
                                 because he was not in a stadium, nobody took notice.  This
                                reminded me of that.  There is a group here this week helping
                                out from a homeless shelter.  This guy Kim started playing the
                                 guitar for us, he was an amazing player/singer.  It was awesome
                                 to hear him play.

Life is like a box of choclates

                                  Outside church.

                                            Guest preacher.  Said "hola out to God"

                                             Colleen came over to talk to Jen one day, Eli says
                                             "want to wrestle?"  she says "sure"

                               Needed a few items for the Vanagon, found this wrecking yard
                               in Fresno, VW heaven.

                                VW 411, did not know they existed.

sequoia national park

                                         I am glad Finn is in this one, what a perspective shot.

                                           2000 year old trees. AMAZING experience!!

                                                  This is the "Grant Tree". It is said to be one of the
                                                  oldest trees in the world. It's been through something
                                                  like 100 forest fires in it's time.

                                                   This was a tree that fell down and had a fire
                                                    in the middle, you could walk through the
                                                    whole thing.

                                                    The road to the lake.

                                                           Hume Lake. It was such a beautiful day.

                                            Eli fishing for minnows.

                                 Mexican bathing suits.

                                          These were the smallest pine cones we found on our hike.
