Yosemite Day 6: Yosemite Valley

Yosemite falls.
After walking around Yosemite valley for a while, we all stopped for lunch by the river before heading home.
Video of this Yosemite adventure is coming soon...

Yosemite Day 5: Mariposa Grove

This is where Luke sat for meals.
Mariposa Grove is a hike near the Wawona campground with a lot of really big trees, including the Grizzly Giant... The kids on a fence.
After all that walking we decided to cool off in the freezing cold river near our campsite...

Yosemite Day 4

Our campsite -- complete with campfire, table, and food container to keep the bears out...We roasted yummy s'mores...
Luke loved his storage bin bath!
...and his bear sleeper that kept him warm through the cold nights...

Yosemite Day 3: Glacier Point

Here's the whole group. John, Rob, Craig, Dave, Missy, Aiden, Joy, Dawson, Levi, Candice, Alec, Brian, Megan, Natalie, and Luke. Nick and Chad are difficult to see -- they're standing at the top of Nevada Falls in the distance.
This would be a nice view even without the big landmarks... add half dome and all the waterfalls and it's just unbelievable.
The guys...
The gals...

Yosemite Day 2

Lots of kids on this trip, 10 adults 8 kids under 5.Hiked up to Chilnualna Falls near the campground.

Packing for Yosemite

Luke helped us pack for the trip. We found out that bringing a baby along adds about 5x to the packing list.
The 4Runner was stuffed full! So full that we had to make a last minute run to Target for a roof rack luggage carrier.
Luckily the 4 couples split up the food duties so we only have to bring food for one day.
