Last week, we traveled with family up to the Yosemite area. We stayed at the Evergreen Lodge and rented the "John Muir House". It was a great time, and a nice distraction from the crummy week we had before we left. We certainly felt at one with nature as we had a bear visit the back deck every night, crossed paths with a rattle snake on a nature walk, caught little frogs and saw the BIGGEST beetle I have ever seen in my life (it was honestly about 6 inches long and 2 inches wide- and it HISSED!!!!!!!).
We also took Derek on his first fishing trip and he caught the first fish of the day! He reeled it in all by himself and was SO excited! Though I am not sure if he was more excited about the fish or about riding in the back of our fishing guide's pick up truck down to the stream.
Ella had a few firsts on the trip as well....she had her first ice cream cone and practically devoured it. She actually started crying when it was gone, but her Papa saved the day and offered her the rest of his. She also ate something else for the first time...... sand. She loved the sand box, but ate a few handfuls of yucky, dirty sand (blech!)!!! Well, I guess every kid has to do it at some point, right?
Enjoy a little slideshow of the good times we had...
