Our wonderful California vacation

We had a thoroughly enjoyable 12 days visiting with family in Sacramento, Fresno, Visalia, and up at Kings Canyon National Park.  Here are a few of the 70 photos I took.  I will figure out how to make all of them available online.
We enjoyed two relaxing days with Melba's brother, David, and his wife, Nancey who live in Sacramento and are a fun couple!
 Melba relaxing in the lobby of the John Muir Lodge.
 Dave and Sylvia, my niece and her husband.
 A cute couple!
 Ernie and Rebecca--another niece and husband.
 Doreen--the matriarch of the Williams clan--and my sister.
 Beautiful part of God's green earth.
 Doreen's husband, John--very humorous fellow.
 Ernie, Rebecca and their son, Max with Sylvia
 John and Doreen--we really enjoyed spending time with them.
 John Muir Lodge--note the snow--they had 340" this year, more than double the annual average!
 Lovely vista.
 Fun to gather round the fire, make smores, and tell stories.
 Mom really enjoyed the photo tribute album we put together for her--in fact, it brought her to tears.
