Redding was HOT!

On Wednesday, we headed to Redding for our 4th annual summer family trip. We invite all the grandparents to come along. My dad has been fishing in Alaska the past three years so he didn't go. This year it was Andy, the kids, and I plus my mom, Pam and Charlie. Chet and Karen weren't able to join us this year.

We left Fortuna about 12:30 on Wednesday, at which time it was 63 degrees. It took us almost 4 hours to get there.... lots of road construction. The high temperature of the day was 110 degrees somewhere along Highway 299. When we arrived in Redding about 4:15, it was 104 degrees. Needless to say, we headed for the pool.

On Thursday we headed to the Waterworks Park. I think we all had fun, even though it was hot and more crowded than I had seen it. Here's a few pictures to show how much fun everyone had....

J.T. spent some time in the regular pool because he couldn't go on some of the waterslides due to height restrictions. Next year....
