Yosemite!

We just got back from a mini-family reunion in Yosemite. We camped with Paul's aunt, cousins and brother and families. They're such a fun group of people and we had a blast. We uploaded our pictures onto our Picasa page. It was gorgeous and awesome and we loved it.

Our tent was very snug and our baby got much less sleep than he needed, but we had a great time and can't wait to go camping again. Reece LOVED it, especially chasing squirrels and cousins, and yelling at birds and adults.

Paul got a killer black eye while rafting.

It actually looked worse after a couple of days, but it's getting better now. The funny part was that he had an interview two days later. It turns out the black eye may have helped in the interview, though, because Paul got the job offer and we'll be moving to San Diego for a year in 2011-2012. We're grateful for the clerkship, but maybe not so excited about moving yet again.

Back to Yosemite:This was the only real hike we did, but it was definitely worthwhile. Reece slept for a good portion of the hike, and only woke up when we got to the waterfall mist. My quads were killing me the next day from climbing up the rocks with the baby pack on. Totally worth it, though.

So now that we're moving to Portland in 6 weeks, who wishes they had come to visit us? Don't worry, even though we won't be living here for a while, we are more than willing to come back to Yosemite and join anybody who wants to camp in the most beautiful national park in America.

You're moving to San Diego?!? I mean, I know that's not for another year or so, but dude, that means we can totally get together when we visit my parents! Assuming we visit them at some point, of course. Which we probably will. Congrats to Paul on landing the clerkship!

I've never been to Yosemite, but after those pictures, I am mighty tempted. Too bad we can't afford a trip out to visit in the next six weeks...

Seriously stoked about the San Diego thing. That's only 2 hours from us and we'll totally be going down there b/c Sea World gives military and family a free day every year! Woot! Are you following us?

Also love the comment about Wendy's killer quads from trekking with baby pack and then the following picture with PAUL hauling said baby pack up the mountain. Awesome! :-)

Nice pictures! You are probably the most adventurous people I know.
