A Summary

EDIT:

Pictures at last!

Playing "Take Two" was a favorite pastime for many.

Justin and Darrell on the rock that provided hours of entertainment for us in camp! ;-)

Jack, doing his version of the hoods we see people driving with around here.

Climbing Jump For Joy, a 5.9, and using my shoes for the first time. I'm about 30' off the ground there.

A view from the trail to the top of Yosemite falls. It was a hard hike but the views were spectacular! The hike up was grueling and hot, but I enjoyed running all the way down the trail in 50 minutes! (It took me 3 hrs to hike up).

A beautiful view of Glacier Point that we enjoy while in our campsite!

I love cooking outdoors... and indoors too for that matter.

Me, Sarah, Merrie, Annie and Abby at the entrance to the valley through the tunnel.

Some of our group on a rock by Vernal falls.

Eden, Hannah, Annie, Alyssa Abby and Me at the base of lower Yosemite falls.
