Yosemite National Park

With Nana, G-pa, Uncle David and Erin visiting this week we decided to take some time out and visit Yosemite National Park. Although there was a lot of smoke from forest fires throughout Northern California, we still had a great time and got to see some awesome sights. We stayed in a home in a lake community. On Sunday, everyone had fun at the beach. Emma was the only one who agreed to have her pictures posted in her bathing suit, so here is some of the fun...

Throwing sand is always a fun past time

Emma also learned how to splash in water wars

Daddy found a rock for skipping
On Monday, we had a very busy day at the park seeing Mountains, Waterfalls, and giant redwood trees...
We had to stop for gas on the way... the prices were a little inflated

On Tuesday, we had one more stop to make before heading home... Glacier Point. The views were very smoky, but still awe inspiring
