Yosemite Camping Trip

We went camping this weekend at Yosemite National Park.  It was amazingly beautiful during the day....and really cold at night!  We slept in a tent and snuggled to keep warm.  We hiked during the day and made hamburgers and hot dogs over the fire.  And then we roasted marshmallows!

We're finally here!  Through the long tunnel and this is the view that greets you!


Breakfast at our campsite...

Glacier Point has panoramic views of the entire valley...click the pic to see a larger version.  And look at that waterfall!


We're on top of the world!!!

Pondering the view.....

And what a view it is.  Look way down there and you can see the valley floor.  Our campsite was down there somewhere!

It was so cold this high up that there was still snow on the ground--the first snow the kids had ever seen.

It's cold.  And icy.  What am I supposed to do with it?

Snowball fight!!!

Don't even THINK of hitting me with a snowball.

On the way back down the mountain, Scarlett spotted a bear!!!!

He looked at us and then just kept walking.....

Waterfalls all around us....




A grass-filled meadow surrounded by sheer cliff walls of the Sierras


It's cold and wet at the base of the falls!





We've never seen a rock that didn't need climbing....

We did it!!!!
