Yosemite- The Bridge

Ever since I was a very little girl my family has gone camping in Yosemite for a week during the Summer.  My mom grew up going every year with her family.  It’s a tradition I hope our little family will continue! 

Back in August Brian and I drove to Fairfield.  We packed everything up in my parent’s cars and drove with them and Samuel to Yosemite.  Matthias, Rebecca, and their 2 boys met us there.  My aunt and uncle, Ray and Diane, and their entire family happened to be there that week too.  They were staying in a cabin just 4 doors down from ours.  Such great timing to be there at the same week as them!

We spent most of our time at the swinging bridge:

This is where we set up camp each day—sitting, relaxing, playing games, talking, eating, and an occasional dip in the river.

Brian swam a lot more than I did.  The water was quite cold.

  1. Although I hate the bridge itself, and no Ranger will catch me jumping off, I love that spot to hang out.

    Wasn't it a glorious week??
