When school ended for the summer on June 1st, we packed the car and headed to Yosemite for a wonderful weekend in the mountains. Ten years ago, Arne and I met on a hike that started near Mirror Lake, so it was great to return to that spot with our family. We've been back in 2009, 2013, and 2016. On Saturday morning we explored the beautiful valley on bikes.
We stopped at Mirror Lake to play in the water and enjoy the great views of Half Dome.
Then it was back to our cabin in "Half Dome Village" and some fun time in the pool!
After water play, we went on one last bike ride before our pizza and popsicle dinner.
The next morning we floated down the Merced river on a raft.
We stopped along the way to play with the butterflies resting on a beach and enjoy the sun and cold water.
It was a beautiful adventure to have before heading home.
