We just got back from a fun and relaxing trip to yosemite. We went to yosemite in chris and diane's motorhome. It was a quick trip we drove down on Thursday morning and came home on Saturday afternoon. Thursday we just hung around the KOA and set up camp and made dinner and went swimming in the pool. All 3 of the boys loved the pool, it had 3 sections one was 1 1/2 foot deep, one was 3 feet and one was 5 feet, Chase especially loved the water. He definetly is a water baby.

Then on Friday we drove to Yosemite first thing in the morning and seth threw up on the way in on all the curvy roads. Then we took all of our bike and road the trails in the yosemite valley and were able to take in the scenery at a kids level. It was nice and cool and just right for the boys to cruise on their bike to get all their energy out and chase slept in the bike trailer the whole time! It is so beautiful up there, we especially like all the big waterfalls and decided in a couple of years we'll go back and hike the falls. We all decided the highlight of the day was when we stopped for lunch by a rushing stream and I started handing out sandwiches and they we all got ATTACHED by mosquitos!!! Ryan has over 20 mosquito bites and i have 10-15!! And we only stood there for 5 minutes before we got the heck out of there! But other than that we enjoyed our day at yosemite. And then Seth had to puke on the way back to the campsite too, poor guy he just gets so carsick just like me. Then went back to the campsite and had another evening at the pool and grandpa Elmer made his famous peach cobbler in his dutch oven (that he forgot and we had to stop and buy one on our way). As he was heating the charcoal to cook it and it had that campfire smell, Blake says "Now we are camping!" It took it till the second night to actually be camping :) it was cute.

Then saturday morning we went back to yosemite and went to the giant sequoias. The are so huge, it was fun to see. Then we headed back home. It was a quick trip but it was fun and actually a little relaxing with 3 boys, but i guess we did have 4 adults :)
