part 1

the first half of our vacation was spent at

yosemite national forest.

my parents had been there a couple years ago

so luckily  they  my mom remembered where to go

and what we definately wanted to see.

but first we had to get there...

my dad did a lot of this on the plane...

and park did some too.

 flying ended up going waaaay smoother than anticipated.

i just won't tell you about the hour drive from the airport

to the house in yosemite west.

pj was beyond exhausted having had just 2 cat naps

while being held on a plane.

my dad isn't used to driving with a crying baby in the back seat.

he drove on 2 wheels

thru the curviest roads ever made.

longest hour of my life to date.

day 1 on our way down to the valley:

the clan.

dressed in the only warm clothes we took,

that we got to wear almost every day :)

'stroller hiking' to bridal veil falls

we had a picnic in the valley

but parker wanted to eat at yosemite falls

and we know he always gets his way.

slightly taller trees than we have



ok enough for today.

hope you enjoyed!

carpe diem
