Yosemite Fun



What did we do in Yosemite??
Charley took 3 of the kids fishing. They didn't really catch anything though...although they were given a fish by a friend that they went fishing with that we were able to cook up. That was kind of fun.
Kristina made this sign...just in case people wondered where they were:)

I don't think I've ever been to Lower Yosemite Falls. It was a very easy walk and what a sight!! Beautiful!! We took this walk a couple of times while we were there.

Kristina and Charley had wanted to walk up to Vernal Falls...so when our friends the Greenhouses came up for the day, they decided to do it together. My sister Lindsay went with them too. Well....they made it up to Vernal...and then kept going on to Nevada Falls!!! WOW!! I'm impressed! Not all of them went up to Nevada..but Kristina did! WooWoo Honey!!


On our last day there, we decided to take a bike ride to Mirror Lake..and we are SOOO glad that we did. It was beautiful! Because of all the rain we had this past winter, the lake was at a perfect level.
The kids enjoyed jumping off this huge rock. This is Joshua jumping off.


Charley and I...what you see when you look UP from Mirror Lake...Half Dome! And, it is MIRRORED in Mirror Lake:):):) Next year (and yes we've already put down our down payment:) we want to spend more time here. The kids had a lot of fun playing in the water.


I saw my one and only bear on this ride back to the campground. It was a smaller brown bear climbing up an embankment. Nothing close though....although we DID have a lot of bear activity throughout the week....I just never saw them...thankfully:):)


The day we left we saw this doe and her 2 baby fawns following her. Not sure if you can see both of the babies in the picture or not, but it was quite sweet.
