Yosemite

We got to our hotel late Friday night and headed into Yosemite this morning. What a crazy drive! The roads were really curvy and up the side of a mountain. It was a pretty scary drive and took about 2 hours to go through Yosemite. It turns out that we stayed on the wrong side of Yosemite. Most of the activities for the kids were in the Yosemite Valley. We decided to make the best of it and head into Tuolumne Meadows, the side closest to where we stayed. We stopped at the visitor's center first.

 Then, we did a short hike to Soda Springs, a natural carbonated spring. It was a neat hike, but the kids had a hard time hiking in the heat. We stopped to have lunch and then did another hike behind the campgrounds.

 At 7pm there was a kids campfire activity that we hung around for. The park ranger told stories and sang songs. The kids enjoyed it, although Kailani was freaked out by all of the mosquitoes. We don't see too many of them in San Diego.
