Camping in Yosemite- 4th of July weekend!

July 3-6th we went camping in Yosemite National Park with Mark's family and we had a blast! We couldn't have asked for more PERFECT weather or a more BEAUTIFUL place to camp. It was amazing! The kids seemed to really enjoy every moment of getting dirty, riding their bikes freely, going for long hikes and bike rides and seeing all the beautiful waterfalls and just plain exploring in the great outdoors with cousins and family that we love so much!

Camp. Yes, that's our giant tent on the right. I told Mark I would only camp if I had the biggest tent we could find. haha! I think we found it.

Grandpa Hobbs made an amazing dutch oven dinner for everyone!

Beginning our hike up to Vernal Falls. Look how fresh we all still look.

Half way there at the bridge! The rest of the hike is pretty much straight up!

Vernal falls mist trail. It was very wet but the kids didn't seem to mind and Madelyn slept through this whole part of the hike.

We made it to the top of Vernal falls!! Kali and Zach did awesome and I was amazed that they made it! We were all pretty wiped out and had to take a little break and enjoy the beautiful view before hiking back down.

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Stacy for all your help and for making this trip super fun for all of us!! We had an awesome time and might just have to make this camping trip a family tradition!!
