Weekend Trip to Yosemite - Friday, July 27th, 2007

We arrived at Yosemite around 6 pm and got to work on setting up camp, while the Boys and Katie were off on a hike. We had the mandatory hot dogs and smores for dinner.

The next morning, the Boys and Katie set off to hike Half Dome. We stayed behind on the ground to hike some easier trails. The weekend was blistering hot at 99 degrees farenheit, so we took a dip in one of the streams near Mirror Meadow. We got back to the camp site and relaxed, cooked some pasta, and went to bed very early.

Sunday we woke up and had a nice slow morning, eating Cheetos, PB&J and fruit. We took a short hike to see some of the great Sequoias. Then we went to play in a river while Theresa relaxed on the rocks. Ray got swept up in a strong current near some sharp rocks and almost died, but Dennis pulled him out of the river and saved him.
