Yosemite

Too sexy for my shirt...
We love each other

We went up to Yosemite with Josh's family (who came out for a week from Tennessee) earlier this month. It was surprisingly hot up there, so we all ended up jumping into the river with our clothes on, well except the kids who took all their clothes off (see pictures). Yosemite is truly one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. It's overwhelming.


Most of the waterfalls were pretty dried up, but the hikes were still fun, and it was all still amazing. We camped in canvas tents and let me just say that was an interesting experience. We were all still recovering from being sick and Robbie is the lightest sleeper in the world... so canvas tents weren't his favorite thing. At one point, I got up to walk to the bathrooms and could hear him screaming clear across the campground. I think all of our neighbors hated us. Luckily it was only for one night.


Other than that, everything was great. Mariah and Robbie loved feeding all the chipmunks and squirrels. We also saw some lizards and a bear (from a reasonable distance!). Hopefully we'll be able to go back soon...

Love it.....you have a great eye for photography. We always got in trouble when we went camping....it was kinda a contest to see after we got the kids unloaded how long before we would get yelled at.
Now that the kids are grown and we go by ourselves....I can see how it an be a LITTLE anoying ~~
