Yosemite Weekend
We just got back from Yosemite yesterday (once again I had a continuing education class there for 3 days). It was beautiful (as always)... but this time it was a very different experience... now we have a baby! No more scaling up mountains or hiking at break-neck speeds. Now all trails we went on were stroller friendly (even though the one going to Mirror lake was REALLY icy).
We had a really nice time. It wasn't as snowy as last year... just slushy/icy all over. Mallory had a good time. She helped build her first snowman, then popped his head off. Way to go! Saturday she came down with a 101.2 fever and sounded like she had a 'smokers' cough. poor thing, but was happy through it all, just more needy. Matthew watched her in the mornings while I went off to my 4 hour long class, then the 3 of us would hang out for the rest of the day, hiking, napping, watching movies, and driving around the park.
Here's half dome (which is closed for the winter) with a layer of fog on it.
Here's half dome on a clear day.
And here it is being dwarfed by our giant baby!
We had a great time, but are happy to be home, away from the snow and sleeping in OUR wonderful bed!
Such an awesome place!

ReplyDeletethe pic of mallory by half dome is funny!
It looks so beautiful! I can't believe we've never been! Fevers...eek that still freaks me out. I'm sure one of these days I'll have to face it.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are just gorgeous! I am so jealous. It sounds like you had a wonderful time. How neat that your family can go with you. Mallory looks so cute in her snuggly warm clothes and adorable hats! I like your beanie too. If your mom made that, tell her I NEED one ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great trip!! Looks a little chilly....
