| It quite literally took my breath away... |
 |
| The view from our campsite... |
 |
| The first morning we woke up to fresh snow... |
 |
| Of course that only meant one thing... snowball fight! |
 |
| Our first outing was to the Ahwahnee lodge... |
 |
| Gorgeous... |
 |
| We hiked up to Vernal Falls... it was so steep we were walking in the clouds... |
 |
| We also hiked to Mirror Lake... |
 |
| On our travels we spied a hollow tree... |
 |
| Part of what made the trip so fun, was our kids appreciation of there surroundings... like this piece of ice... |
 |
| ...and ice crystals... |
 |
| Our most amazing find was this stacked rock garden... |
 |
| The kids decided to add their own... |
 |
| With a little help... |
 |
| Taking in the beauty... |
 |
| There were numerous bike paths... |
 |
| ...but the kids made there own around our campsite... |
 |
| There was so much to see... it made me feel a little less guilty about the amount of school my kids were missing... |
 |
| School can't compare to this... |
 |
| One of the first guides... |
 |
| My daughter was inspired by the weaving we saw at the museum... she came back to camp and braided all of us accessories out of pine needles... even the dog... |
 |
It was so nice to get away... taking a break from phone and Internet, and spending some quality time with my family and parents... I feel so lucky that my kids have the same awe and enthusiasm for nature... they will take these memories with them forever... If I have learned anything from this trip it's this... we need very little to have happiness... just take a walk, and take in your surroundings... you just might find something that takes your breath away...
