Yosemite.

Bobby and I went to Yosemite this last weekend with his mom, dad, sister Kristy and Bro-in-law Matt. I still haven't quite been able to come up with words for how AWESOME that place is. Its so beautiful! We drove up to Bass Lake which is close to Yosemite and stayed the night in Gayle's (Bob's mom) condo. Way nice. Then Sunday morning we packed up the car and headed to the park. Our first stop, Mariposa Grove to see the Giant Sequoia's. Those tree's are dang BIGGGG! It was a fun little hike to the Grizzly Giant and the Tunnel Tree.

Bob showin us how huge the Fallen Tree is.

After taking in the Giantasauraus trees and the awful bathrooms (I have a slight phobia of those glorified portapotties that are a toilet ontop of a hole...ugh) we drove over to Yosemite Valley. We enjoyed looking at all the beautiful waterfalls and trees and mountains (and people watching hehe). Bobby and I wandered around just the 2 of us for a while. I ate lunch next to the Merced River while Bob climbed around on rocks. Then we later met up with Kristy and Matt and Gayle and Randy and walked to Yosemite Falls. This was SPECTACULAR. It made the whole trip worth it. I was literally in AWE! I was so glad Gayle invited us to go. It was so fun and I really can't wait to go back again! Maybe even do some real hiking. Half Dome anyone? ha. Everyone should make time to go there at some point in life!!
OH, and if you're looking for a good laugh, I realized as we were getting ready to head home on Sunday, that the WHOLE day I had had my white undershirt on backwards... yeah... too funny. I was like BOBBY! Why didn't you tell me! haha. And even more funny, well not to him, but Bobby's short zipper totally broke about half way through the day, were a couple of goof's. hahaha. :D


This is the first view we had after entering the valley through a tunnel! Gorgeous!

Mokelumne River Adventure Challenge

So the day for my big swim finally came! I did really surprisingly well with training. I went to the pool every weekday morning for a whole month! I really loooove swimming. Well this morning we went with Bobby's brother Bill and his fam down to Lodi Lake and triathloned it up! I swam first, which went really well it was just semi disorienting swimming in a murky lake compared to a crystal clear pool, but I felt good after the initial freezing cold water shock ha. Then I handed off the bracelet to Bobby and he ran 3.2 miles, and did it in an awesome 22 minutes! Which is not to shabby considering he ran about 2 times for his "training." The Bill jumped in his Kayak and paddle a 7 mile round trip on the Mokelumne River! We came in 5 out of 11 teams! It was super awesome and we were glad to do it for our amazing nephew Josh. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation was a sponsor.
