Yosemite National Park

WARNING: Lots of Picture! We went to Yosemite on last week June 5-6,when it was Free National Park day. The pass to get there opened up the day before we went so we were prepared for a little snow but hoping it would still be beautiful. When we first got there we saw this ranger's house with snow still up to it's door!


Oh my goodness the water was overflowing!! It was so awesome. The warm weather had been around for a few days prior to our visit and it melted a lot of the snow and we were so lucky to see these awesome waterfalls everywhere. The pictures don't even do justice to what we really saw.
Our first main stop was Olmsted Point. There was still a good amount of snow there. We walked down the rock formations and the kids played in the water. It was perfect!

One of the many water falls. Again, the picture isn't as good as the real thing.
BridalVeil Falls which had a huge mist coming off of it..like rain in Portland!! The closer you got the more wet you were. Derek and Bryanna got soaked!!! Then I had to try it too.
Gracie and Abby stayed back; not interested in having a shower in the middle of the day! Abby was slightly terrified!


There were so many peaks and formations and I can't remember the names of all of them. It was so calming and amazing to be around these beautiful creations God has given us.
