Yosemite

We had a four day weekend and decided to go to Yosemite N.P.. It was a five hour drive and all was well until the last hour both ways. Poppy had had enough, we felt the same way, we just did not cry and scream about it.

We stopped to play in the leaves.


The hike to Mirror Lake. We rode our bikes to the trail head (we thought), looked over the map and started hiking. We were looking for a lake, we had fellow hikers walking going up and down the trail, so we just kept walking. 1.5 miles into our hike, we saw a sign that said Mirror Lake 1.5 miles behind us. The trail head, where we left our bikes, was the lake. The water level was down so it looks more like a stream. Poppy was a sleep in the trailer so we just wheeled it on the trail. We carried her up the boulder strewn hills, down the washed out asphalt and over a log. She woke up when we were with in sight of the lake, on our return. So she got a good nap, we had a nice walk to no where.

Poppy enjoyed her walk by the lake.

We found a life size or so bear for Poppy. Every time she saw a bear she would say - roar - The gift shop was fun. She tried to crawl under this big bear until Carter picked her up and put her on top of him. She was hugging it and kissing it.

This was a great trip. We missed the snow and rain, we had a heated tent cabin, Poppy learned two new words (waterfall, half-dome) and we met up with some friends from SLO - Trevor and Suz.
