Vacation In Yosemite


Eric, Matthew, and I recently returned from what has become our annual "Family Camp" week in Yosemite. I love Yosemite ... it is so beautiful there.

The water flow was very, very low throughout the park, but if you look closely you can see Yosemite Falls behind the boys.
We stayed in Housekeeping Camp again this year (thanks Karen for inviting us) ... it is sosoooo fun. We bring lots of gear from home - but have the luxury of showers, restrooms and a store inside the camp ground. (No midnight hikes to the "little house on the hill.") We have to lock everything edible inside bear boxes. Didn't see any bears this year... just squirrels.
Once again this year we had a awesome view of Half Dome just by stepping out of our camp site.

No hiking for us - instead we rode bikes everywhere. (Yes - I rode all over the park on this lovely Lady Schwinn bike - brought back memories of the Schwinn I used to ride when we lived in Taylorsville :-)
Matthew had his back tire blow-out the first day - Eric rode ahead while Matthew and I walked the bikes back to camp. As we were walking the bikes along the trail I noticed a family of deer in the meadow. Great Photo Op ...don't you think?!

As we were leaving on Saturday this HUGE group (at least 50 or more) of Harley Bikers came riding past us. I had to laugh at Eric - leaning out of the car window to take a picture. :-) We had a great time visting with friends, eating smores around the fire every night, and enjoying each others company in the beauty that is Yosemite. I love spending time with my boys in Yosemite - and look forward to going again next year !!
