Yosemite

We left Sacramento for Yosemite. Along the way we stayed the night in Modesto where there was a power outage in 107 degree heat. Luckily the power came back on after 3+ hours but the hotel room was hot! Yosemite was amazing! There is still tons of water so the falls are huge.  Luckily we stayed at Yosemite Lodge at the falls so we had nice accommodations and were close to the falls.

Becca super excited about her new t-shirt and new coyote

 The next day we hiked out to Mirror Lake. Becca was especially excited to put her water socks to use and splash in the water. BRRR....it was cold!!

 After our hike to Mirror Lake my Dad and I rented bikes and cruised around the valley.

After Yosemite we came back to Palo Alto where we went swimming, shopping, and out to eat. It was a super fun trip. Thanks family!!
