On the last weekend my parents were here, we were planning a camping trip to the coast. But thanks to the cool, rainy weather that was predicted (we're not complaining, though!) we decided to cancel our camping trip. Instead, we drove up to Yosemite and spent a day enjoying the incredible waterfalls and scenery. We were a little concerned that we might have rain there, too, but the
weather turned out great and we had such a wonderful day!
At Bridalveil Falls, the mist was so heavy that we all donned the rain gear we had taken along (just in case it rained) to walk the brief trail to the base of the falls.
Scott thought this picture would be hilarious. Doesn't it really look like I'm trying to drink the waterfall?! :)
This is lunch with a view!
Another amazing view
After lunch we hiked to the base of Vernal Falls, which was about 3 miles (
round trip). Daniel and Ashley are enjoying the rushing river.
The kids played one of their favorite "games" along the hike to the falls and back: "hide and surprise". They're really quite cute -- at this stage in life they really think they can hide from us by running 50 yards ahead and hiding behind a big rock. :)

Amazing!
And the famous Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls.
Even though we didn't get to spend the weekend camping, we are very thankful to have spent a wonderful day together enjoying one of the most amazing places in God's world.
