Views of Upper Yosemite Falls, Bridalveil Falls, Nevada and Vernal Falls

Two little sleepers had the best naps up the trail--Brad actually carried Andrew most of the way--he is SO heavy!

Brinton loved riding the bus and singing "Little Red Caboose!"

Climbing cousins--they loved the rocks

That pizza was SO delicious!

Wow, sounds like you guys had lots of fun at Yosemite park with family. It's the best part that you get to see the beautiful views with great company. It's a very beautiful park and we sure miss it and you guys.

"Happy Father's Day" to Brad.
