We headed to Yosemite for the long weekend with John and Lena. Mark and his parents used to go every year and it had been awhile since we had all been there and it was a great Fall weekend.
Here we are enjoying the view of Yosemite Falls however at this time of year the waterfall had very little water and what was there was frozen. This was an easy stroll... so now we were ready to conquer the Misty Trail.
This was pretty much how Mark hiked up the mountain... go Dad!! Madison did great but it was a pretty steep climb and those legs got tired.
Jack enjoyed his bird's eye view from the backpack and talked/babbled to everyone passing on the way down.
We made it to the top... a little tired but excited because the way back was all downhill.
This is Madison racing Hans Florine and Yuji Hirayama to the top of El Capitan (by the way these two climbers set the record for fastest climb on Sunday while we were there)
This was us when we made it to the top of "the rock" so proud!!
This is us all snuggled up (it was about 40 degrees at night) on the Yosemite shuttle after a great day of hiking and a yummy pizza dinner.
On Sunday, we enjoyed a wonderful brunch at the Ahwahnee and then headed to Mirror Lake ... which we never quite made it to after Jack decided he wanted to do some hiking too.
Thanks for a great weekend Oma and Opa!!
