Yosemite


The Miser Family are back in town and have hit the ground running after our fabulous Yosemite trip. Wow, it was really something else: smack dab in the middle of springtime, gushing waterfalls, lushly green meadows, sparkling blue skies with fluffly white cotton clouds - truly god's country. The only problem was that the trip was too short! We were only there for two nights. The first day we unpacked and organized our gear, and then just chilled after our long car trip, cooked dinner and went to bed fairly early. We had one of the best campsites around with a stunning view of Upper Yosemite Falls, so it was fairly easy to just sit there and just take in nature. The next day we rented bikes and rode over to Lower Yosemite Falls, which were beyond dramatical. Bee fell asleep on the way back in her little bike trailer, worn out from all the excitement of seeing so much water. Back at the campsite, we sat beside the Merced River, and Sparky made a little painting of our view while Bee hunted for rocks.                              
Here's his painting. We left the next day, but had a picnic on our way out. We were sad to have to leave that place of such natural beauty - it really is one of the most amazing places I've ever visited. We will be back, Yosemite!
