When we got to Sequoia, spent a lot of time at Hume Lake. The water was cold, but satisfying. When we were there, we found a giant floating log in the middle of the lake, so we decided to get on it. My Dad also bought us a plastic raft, which we really enjoyed. It was difficult to paddle and steer the raft, but after much practicing, I managed to handle it.
Next, we went canoeing and kayaking. The first day, I went canoeing with my Dad, who helped me row when I needed to take some breaks.

The following day, my older sister and I went kayaking, which was a very tiring but, worth it. Kayaking was fun for me because I love to be on the water.

The General Sherman Tree is twenty-one hundred years old. Wow!
Can you guess which pine cone belongs to the General Sherman Tree?

If you picked the bigger pine cone as your answer, you are wrong. Many people confuse the Giant Sequoia pine cone ( smaller pine cone ) with the Sugar Pine Tree pine cone ( bigger pine cone ). The Giant Sequoia tree is a rare tree, and although the tree may have thousands of small pine cones, the chances that the seeds will ever become a full grown tree are very small.
Have you ever been to Sequoia National Park? Have you ever seen the General Sherman Tree?
