Bass Lake and Yosemite Vacation

This is the view from our cabin. It's right on the lake so perfect for just jumping in for a quick swim.

One day we drove up to Yosemite with my Dad and did a few little hikes. It was nice.

This is on the bridalveil trail.

Micah found this cool looking rock that looked just like an egg. He kept calling it his egg.

This is the lower falls hike. Pretty huh.

We took the easy trail and then we walked back and climbed up the rocks to look at the waterfall from the side and above. All the kids liked climbing up the rocks the best.

Morgan, Chris' daughter, climbed up really high. It was fun to have her with us.

After Yosemite we went back to the cabin and relaxed a little, swam a little, and visited with Chris' family before they headed back home. This little cutie is Chris' youngest, Par.

Uno by lantern. The kids loved the lantern.

The next day we rented a boat and took it out on the lake all day. It was nice. The weather was perfect, the boat had a grill on which Jacen cooked a juicy steak. We innertubed. It was a fun day.
Albert drove.

Micah dozed for an hour or so.

Jacen
He got a little bored with the tube so he started making up tricks and stunts to do on it. I wish I could have gotten some good video clippage of it. It was fun to watch!

I even had a go on the tube. We decided to save up for a boat. We also rented a wave runner but didn't get any pictures on it. We had a great time. We need to utilize the cabin more often. My kids were amazed at how warm the water was. They are used to the freezing Pacific Ocean water. I loved being able to go for my run in the morning and then jump right in the lake with my running clothes on even and swim out to the booey and back a few times. The kids also did some fishing...Jacen even got up before 6 a.m. to fish (unheard of on a non-seminary day). Great times. We were glad to get back to our own beds though when the trip was done.
