Yosemite

We love Yosemite. We haven't been since before our girls, but when my parents mentioned they were going camping in Yosemite we decided to jump on their vacation and join them. 

 

 Two of my sisters and their families decided to come too. It was a mini family reunion. We found a fun swimming hole to swim in, and we did several hikes.

My parents loved the swimming hole and swimming with their grandchildren.

We hiked to the base of vernal falls.  Our girls were super hikers. We weren't sure how they would do but they were excited to hike and even wanted to carry the backpack with water in it.

 My family made it to the top of Nevada falls.

 

We had fun walking back down the trail. The girls tried to stay cool.

S found this spot. She told me to take a picture of her and J on this rock. She was right, it was a good place to take a picture.

Even though it was summer the nights were still cold. We ended up sharing sleeping bags with S and J to keep them warm.

 

The girls had fun playing with their cousins and aunts and uncles.

 J wanted to be just like her big cousin.

J took tips from mimi on how to take a good picture, but it was Aunt Joyce who actually got the shot of the bear!

The last day we were there we walked around the Mariposa Grove and looked at the big trees.

 We can't wait to go back, this may become a family tradition.
