~Yosemite National Park~

My niece Korinne was being baptized so my family headed out to California for a little site seeing trip before her big day. My sister had the idea to visit Yosemite National Park and we absolutely loved it. Me, Trav and my Mom headed out on for our road trip. We stopped in Vegas for the night but as always we got there too late to do much so we just stuffed our faces with Pei Wei, then my mom went to bed and we headed down to the hot tub. The next day we headed out to Bakersfield to pick up my Dad and my sister Staci from the airport (they were the lucky ones and got to fly). Then we all crammed in my little car and headed out the last 2 hours to Fresno. It was so fun to see how the excited the kids were when we arrived (it made the 12 hour drive well worth it).

The next morning we headed off to Yosemite. Beautiful...Amazing...More Beautiful... Those are the words that came to my mind when we arrived in Yosemite. I highly recommend everyone make a trip out early enough in the year to see the falls. Every time I look at the photos I think the back ground it fake. As you can see from the photos it was a little bright for Tyson we were having a hard time trying to get him to keep his eyes open. It did get a little chilly when you got close to the falls with so much water coming down it felt like a mist of cold water. It was so fun to hike around and explore such a beautiful place. My brother in-law Tyler convinced us to go on a hike and climb through a crack that was extremely small (for us adults) but the kids were so great and loved every minute. Even Tyson and Trav went on their own little adventure to try to see some deer. Then we took a trip to the souvenir store then headed out of the park for food and the hotel.
