Vacation

Last week we went on vacation. It was WONDERFUL to escape with the family and get away from everything for a few days. HUGE thanks to Ryans mom and dad for coming with us. They ended up being SO MUCH HELP. I don't know if we could have done it with out them, plus hurray for fun company to enjoy it with!!!

We left Monday morning and drove and drove and drove.....etc Tuesday we went to the Sequoia National Park. We went on some hikes and saw some awesomely HUGE TREES! We even got to see a tiny baby bear and then its mom came out too. That was so cool to see. They weren't even that far away and no fences between us like a zoo. Just us and the bears. (A little scary too, but mostly just awesome:) Wednesday and Thursday we went to Yosemite National Park. This was amazing as well. We went on hikes again and saw more awesomeness. The kiddos were so great on the hikes. The next day when all of us grown ups were SO SORE the kiddos were bouncing around same as always. That made me feel really old because I was definitely NOT bouncing around. lol So fun to get away, so NOT FUN to do the laundry aftermath, but totally worth it.
Heres some (many many pics) of our fun...


Next up....NEW YORK!!!!

Oh. My. Heavens. THE PICTURES! THE SCENERY! It's torture! I wish I could have been a fly on the way (a fly with a big bulky camera!)

Fun trip! Your pictures brought back lots of memories for me. When I was about seven, I went on the same exact trip with my family! Great pictures Misty! I enjoyed looking at all of them.
