On Sunday (August 21 -wow, I'm behind!) we left Bakersfield, CA and headed for Yosemite National Park. It was so beautiful! We had a picnic lunch and then drove arond the park to see the sights. It made we want to go camping...and I am not a camper! However, I can see us camping there for a week and riding bikes and canoeing and seeing something new every day! I would love to go back for longer, but we sure enjoyed our one day there!
My cutie pie on our long trip to Yosemite.
Three hour car rides make us grumpy! :)
There were tons of these pretty blue birds (not their technical name ha ha) where we picniced.
"Come on Mom, enough pictures already!"
Braden and Grandmama walking down to the water.
Favorite picture of Kate to date! Squish!
The water was still freezing (the snow had barely melted and it was August!)

I forget the name but this the spot where all tourists stop to take pictures. You can see Half Dome in the background.
Obligatory family photo in front of pretty scenery
Bridalvale Falls
This may be inappropriate...but "when nature calls..."
Hi!
Half Dome
Isn't this field so pretty? I want to camp right in the middle.
Yosemite Falls
My boys checking out the falls. All the falls were very small this time of year because there was no snow melting. Earlier in the summer we would have gotten soaked if we stood there.
Enjoying the view....or happy to be out of the car!
Cheeeeeese!
Now that is a big rock!
View leaving the park
Another gorgeous view!
After we left the park we checked into our hotel and had some Mexican for dinner. Then everyone else went to the pool while I tried to get Kate to sleep.

1. Because I am your dorky nature living friend, I of course had to look up the bird's name :). It's a Steller Jay: http://www.oiseaux-birds.com/card-steller-jay.html
2. I don't know if I've never seen Ben's Mom before. He looks so much like her!
3. Love Braden peeing in the water!
