Yosemite

Yosemite was wonderful. We camped in Upper Pines campground with both of our mom's. Everyday we played in the woods, went on hikes, and ate junk food.
Yosemite
This log was the meet up location for all the kids in the surrounding campgrounds. Each day they would gather around it and start playing hide and seek or cars.
Ahwahnee Hotel
We visted the historic Awhanee hotel. Mom bought us a bottle of wine and we sat outside on the patio and drank it up. While we were sitting there a bear played in the meadow in front of us for awhile and then walked off. It was so cool to see one during the day. It was pretty big, and it ignored us and the crowd that gathered to watch it.
Half Dome at dusk
Pictures do not do Half Dome justice, especially at sunset it is amazing.
flashlights in the tent
Every night the kids would climb into their sleeping bags and play with flashlights until they fell asleep.
Grandma's
The best company you could ask for. Our moms.

I was eager to hear how your trip went. Sounds like it went well (unless you're keeping out the downer stuff). Amazing how majestic some big rocks can be.

Miss ya much :)
