Stokstad Family Holiday

This July we headed up to Groveland and the Lillaskog Lodge for a Stokstad family holiday to celebrate Bob & Julie's 50th wedding anniversary.  The kids had a great time on the way up at the Groveland park, playing on monkey bars and sliding into me on the slide.


It was a beautiful location, with perfect days and awesome sunsets and games with glowsticks.


The days were idyllic with blackberry picking that wore Liam out.
And a visit to the local watering hole - Rainbow Falls.


We had an anniversary celebration all dressed up in matching Flag Shirts!
We then spent a day in the Yosemite Valley, enjoying a lovely lunch in the Majestic Lodge (formerly known as the Ahwahnee), before hiking to Mirror Lake (where Arne and I first met in 2008!).
Before leaving, the cousins had a chance to play in the sprinklers and create some great family mountain memories.
