Yosemite

Prepare for some photos---alot of photos:) The splendor of God's land...oh, it was beautiful!!! OK, so, at the last minute, we decided to take a trip to Yosemite. We loaded up with clothes, snacks, books, and Narnia--book on CD. Here we go...



The drive was beautiful--but 4 hrs long!


I just couldn't help starring at these...blue sky, green hills, and windmills, tons of them!!


We found a place called Evergreen Lodge---great place:) It was setup with kids in mind! The girls enjoyed the sand area with kettles and cups while David and I played some ping pong in the dark---it was lots of fun!


...and cool teepees made from tree barks!


...sadly, we just missed Smores hour at the fire:(

The Lodge was just 8miles from the entrance...very convenient:)

The creeks and waterfalls were full---it's spring!!

We made many stops on our drive through Yosemite. Many photo opportunities:)

...we walked through some fields


Yosemite Falls.....I think




Half Dome
