Yosemite Part 1

Our long awaited Yosemite trip was awesome.

It's so hard to believe that between 3 & 4 million people visit there each year, witness the majesty & beauty & don't know without a doubt Who created it.

Mind boggling really.

But we know.

And we are thankful because it truly is beautiful.

Every morning we got up early & went for an 'explore' with the dogs.

We would have a big hot breakfast when we got back & then plan out our main hike for the day.

We took lots of detours to climb LOTS of big rocks & take lots of pretty pictures.

Then we would have a big, hot dinner & hang out by the fire & read & be silly.

I was able to take so many amazing pictures with such beautiful colors ~ just lovely.

Going this late in the year had many advantages.

Most of the waterfalls & creeks were dry but the foliage was breath taking & there were not many people there at all.

And the crisp, cold weather was fabulous.

I want to share so many of the beautiful pictures we have that I will split up my posts between days ~ so as not to overwhelm you with the Lord's creation :)

It's important to have a hiking buddy. Especially if they are tall, dark & handsome. Here's mine.



Look! It's us  :)



We stopped to have a history lesson on this rare form of ancient technology.


The world's cutest hikers.


Scaling the behemoth...






Victorious!



Scaling the narrow ledge hundreds of feet (okay inches) above the ground...



I love walking-away pics :)




King of the world!!!

That's it for our first day. See you tomorrow ;)

Blessings.
