First things First

So, we made it through the park entrance and still had 24 miles to get to Yosemite Valley. Along the way there was a great pull out along the river. It was a great place to stretch legs and begin experiencing nature first hand.

Now, I don't mean to be a tattle-tale, but Scott's mama told him to stay of slippery rocks...

And, like father, like sons...

I love the driftwood Nathan picked up... it looked like a scene from a Halo land... except for normal looking boys, that is!

Then Joseph calls out, "Hey, who's having a hootenanny without me?"

My most favorite "out of focus" picture of all:

And a few more nature/scenic shots before arriving at the valley floor...

It was simply breath taking!! I cannot imagine how many times I said, "Oh, my heavens!" and "There are no words!" It was simply amazing beyond belief. I will share the valley shots later tomorrow...

Oh, and by the way, it was such a wholesome family day! I am so thankful to have shared it with all my boys and two of my girls. And since Rebekah could not join us, I MUST return...

Blessings!
