yosemite 2010

well, we didn't get into yosemite when we normally like to go...but we did make it in for a long labor day weekend.

we have great friends...the seiferts...who are always blessing us in some way. this time, they offered us their RV. it was fantastic, if i don't say so myself.

we did have a little trouble getting to our destination because the RV is quite, um, mature, if you catch my drift! but once again, brent(seifert), came to our rescue, with a mechanic, late at night, in elk grove, while we barged in on my brother and sister-in-law, who just had a baby a couple weeks prior. i didn't mind--i got to hold my niece while i waited, worked out perfectly.

so once we were all fixed up and done being laughed at by colin and jess for being all griswald-ish, we were on our way.

and let me tell you-- pulling up into lower pines in the middle of the night in an RV...TOTALLY AWESOME! we pulled in, kids already sleeping in their beds and we went right to sleep. and guess what, morning came, and we were already set up!!

the kids had a blast, as always. no bear sightings...but lots of deer. zachary and his 2 older cousins, emily and isabella, were given a little more freedom this year. we let them ride their bikes to the village to get a candy bar or just hang out. they loved feeling all grown-up.

now of course, i am freaking out because oprah did a show on her visit to yosemite AND she stayed in lower pines--which is our spot. oh oprah, don't you know when to keep a secret?!
