Yosemite Valley

In May we made a quick trip to California to attend a reunion of Max's national champion ultimate Frisbee team in Santa Cruz. Since we were going to be in the neighborhood we extended our CA time and spent a few days camping and hiking in Yosemite NP. Kieran is a BIG fan of camping without mosquitoes.

Eating meals by headlamp is hard to beat.

With noodles for dinner every night Kieran couldn't have been happier.

The only entertainment he needed was the fire pit.

We took a walk to the giant sequoia grove and found some snow along the way.

Amazing trees.

Back in the valley we had a picnic lunch in a meadow across from El Cap. Nice view!

Spying on the big wall climbers through the wrong end of the binos.

Post lunch siesta.

And back in the car for the big ride to Santa Cruz. This was the last day of our Yosemite time but the photos ended up in a strange order so the posts to follow show more from the park...
