So, this time when I went to CA (I've been there twice and this is a third time) I finally got to visit Yosemite!! And let me tell you, that 3 hour drive was completely worth it! =)
Some of us stayed behind to finish up some food prep for traveling back the next day. So, the others rode in the RV (which is much slower), and we met up with them just in time!! Thanks to Ben for being our Chauffeur! =D

Lilyana enjoying her trip up the rest of the mountain!

"Auntie Jess keeps messing with my checks!!"

She will be so adorned by so many Aunts and Uncles!!

We finally arrived at Bridal Falls!

Mum and Dad and the falls!

Some of the group!

Caleb and Matthew =D

Scenic shot!

Trudging along....it was a bit muddy due to all the rain they were having!

The three little girls and their three **SOLs!

Riding in the RV....t'was very interesting!!

Staying warm and happy!

Tiff and I! <3

Me, at the end of Bridal Falls, because it was wet and cold up at the top....if it was warm I might have ventured up!!

Tiff and I again...this time right side up!

Dad and William making their way back down!

The three girls

Jess, Tiffany and Lilyana!

ART

Tiffany, Ben, and Lilyana! I love these people!! <3

We all climbed back into the RV to have a nice lunch and drive over to the Visitor center!

"Looking" at Yosemite.....or a man-made Mountain formation made to be Yosemite!

Mr. and Mrs. Hector!

Matthew found his long lost brother while we were there!!!

Jess asked this guy if he would like a kiss on the check.....he obliged!
Some of the group in the Museum!

Back in the RV heading back, Caleb, Tiff and Nic are in deep conversation!

And the rest are having a brilliant time at the table talking! At least I think they were.....

Yes, I know these are a little misplaced, but this was a really neat shop.....well, kind of shop! You couldn't go into it, but they had some really neat photos form the past you could look at on the side wall!! We thought it a perfect place for a picture! =D

"I love to sing in the rain!!"

Now we come to the end of this post......I'm kind of sad that this is the last one for our CA trip, although in the next post I will have just one picture from CA in it. It was a glorious trip, one that I would love to make again!! Come back for our trip back to CO making one stop in Utah to visit my Great Grandfather! I hadn't seen him for about 11 years! So, it was grand to see him again!

Y'all be blessed this Sunday and next week!!!

Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!? {insert smile}

    Oh how many good times we had! Yosemite was a ton of fun, and I loved the fluctuation in the weather.:)It was sunny, rainy, snowy, and then sunny again!:)

    It is sad that you have a paucity in California pictures.:( This only means that you all will have to come out soon, and take more!!!;)Hope you all have a great week!

Added this one, just cause I like it best! =) What I've been working on, because these are much needed very soon! The Spare- oom is for my sister and brother-in-law. They are putting it above their baby's room which is also the guest room/stash room/sewing room! Couldn't decide which one I liked better....=P 1.... and 2! This is for my brother and soon-to-be Sister-in-law! I've made three of these and have gotten a good report...so this is what I give when people are getting married! =) Now to go conquer my Saturday, which it is now snowing after a HUGE rain/thunder storm last night. Anyone else have as random weather as we have?!?!? Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!?

So, as promised, here is PART 2 of our crazy weather! Snow cone? THE SUN IS SHINNING!!!! The three who were brave enough to venture into the great unknown! William and his "guys". Pulling Em out of a drift! Our lane.... The neighbor was kind enough to move the snow to the sides of the rode....thus making HUGE walls on either side! In the country there a LOTS of new games to play. THIS one is called FIND THE DRIVEWAY! Em in a drift.... One happy and rather cold girl! He's not sad.... he's a happy boy! Emma, cooking in style..... Abby stayed inside..she thought it was a better view from the window. Is there anything better then a nice cup of Chai tea while looking out at a frozen wasteland? Some vanilla (I know, very random picture) to make.... White and milk chocolate cookies for the kind neighbor who shoveled our drive!! Abby reading by a nice warm fire.....still not ready to go outside! Abby wrote a blog-post yesterday...I thought it was really cute and I'm su...

Well, here I am after a FULL day of snow, sun, family, friends, fun, and sweet fellowship! Wow! What can I say....it was cold, fun, crazy and did I mention it was cold? Our day started with sauteing the onions and garlic. Adding the beef and other such stuff to make a great southern Chili! Of course we had to make one not so spicy for those who cannot tolerate the taste of a Chipotle pepper! So, below we have Jessica (who did go out and play in the snow) stirring the stuff in a BIG pot! When I woke up the sun wasn't out....I was pretty bummed but was okay about it since we were going to have fun. The sun came out right before the Evans family arrived!! *bliss* God must have sent a blessing my way! Today is Jedidiah Evans Birthday, so we all got to sing for him!! Here is the delicious cake that Grace made for him!! Abby and Cara having fun by their secret snowball stash! =) I told Josiah he looked like he came out of a magazine....whatchya think?!?! Some of the girls stop for a pi...
