Trinity 2010

We got back from Trinity a few weeks ago and we have been so busy I am just now getting to the pictures! We had a great week with Mom and Dad and Brian came up for a few days too. Caroline had a great time playing in the water (and the dirt). We look forward to this trip each year. It is so relaxing and fun! Caroline was old enough this year to enjoy it and she loves having Mimi and Papa around for a whole week.

Mom and I on our way to the Ice Cream Social where we all eat pie for breakfast!

Wine tasting...one of the best nights of the week

Scott became quite the fly fisherman

Happy 4th of July

She played in the water with her bucket and shovel for hours!

Ready to play in the water

She loves helping Daddy drive the boat

Mom had her first experience on the tube and she loved it!

Caroline also had her first experience on the tube...but she didn't love it so much.
Maybe next year.

And Dad always loves the tube.

Cheese!

Noah, Kim, Issac and Tasha

On the last night we always have a big family dinner at the restaurant at the resort.
What a fun vacation!!

Friends

Caroline and her friend Sierra had the best time after Gymboree class the other day. The just ran and ran and surprisingly neither of them fell. :)

Yosemite 2010

Last weekend Scott, Caroline and I headed to Yosemite with some of our friends. We camped but without tents. There were little "cabins" (I use this word loosely) that we stayed in. It was so much fun. The views were amazing and all of the kids did great. We did get evacuated on Saturday night about 11pm due to flooding (and drove home with a chatty little girl who refused to go back to sleep until we got home at 2:30am). Despite all of that excitement, I think we will make it an annual trip!

Trena was smart to bring a small table for the kids to use for meals.
They were so cute eating together.

Silly girls (This whole green area was flooded by the
time we evacuated Saturday night)

Hiking to Vernal Falls

We are all still smiling because we didn't realize the intensity of the hike

we were about to take! :)

Finally to the top! We let the kids run around and had lunch there. It was beautiful.

Hiking to Lower Yosemite Falls...a much easier hike. :)

Lower Yosemite Falls. It was so amazing to experience.

The Ahwahnee Hotel where we had lunch on Saturday

Just because

Caroline and I were playing in the backyard yesterday and I took some really great pictures of her. She is really in to the tutu these days (even wears it to bed..Scott takes it off after she is asleep) and it makes her outfit that much cuter.

So pretty

Funny faces!

Waiting for Daddy to get home from work.

This is the outfit C chose to wear the other day. Notice the pink sparkly shoes. :)
