Images From Yosemite...

Although it has been a few weeks since our visit to Yosemite, I am playing catch-up and wanted to document some of our fun times with some of the pictures from the trip. Forgive me for the next few posts that will recap our last few weeks.

Although our time there was short, Yosemite was a great time for us. After a hurried departure, a "dual yorking" as Paul says, and a late night (early morning?) arrival at our campsite... we were able to slow way down and enjoy a peaceful morning in beautiful surroundings.


In an effort to get excited, early-rising kiddos away from other sleeping campers, Paul rushed the kids out in their pajamas to explore.



Paul is so good at having fun with the kids when we are out and about. He manages them so well and really helps them to have a good time while I hold and care for Ella. He is wonderful with them.


Abby can play princesses wherever she is...







I joined them when Ella woke, and we enjoyed some beautiful, peaceful scenery.

After a few walks, we came back to breakfast and packed up to see more of the national forest.


Something that was so interesting (in a frightening way) to me was all the warnings about bears. I guess there was a video playing as he checked into our camp about bears breaking into cars for food or items that looked like food/coolers. So we were told to clear out our car completely and store any and all food in these "bear boxes" for protection.


It brought the reality of this "natural" experience home for me.

We drove around and out of the park that day. We stopped along the way to admire particularly beautiful spots.


Ella enjoyed herself, too...



Although the stay was short, it was very enjoyable and probably just the right amount of time for now. We'll be back though!
