Here’s Dylan entertaining Cameron in our Yosemite West rental….As you can see, they still adore each other! At some point, I hope I’ll find time to post video of the two of them playing together!
Anyway, time is still flying. We just got back from a 4-night/5-day trip to Yosemite where we experienced the best of both worlds — a couple of warm, sunny days and 2 days of fresh snowfall! Plus, we didn’t have to use chains driving back home!
We had planned to snowshoe up at Badger Pass, but we didn’t get a chance — the kids seemed totally uninterested and Tom’s rented snowshoes were busted(!), so we let Heather and her family go adventuring while Tom and I took the kids to the snow for snack-time and tubing!
At first, Dylan didn’t want to try tubing; he just wanted to pretend to be a dog and do “tricks” for pretzel snacks! But, luckily, Taliana had an interest and after he saw her and me go down, he wanted to try it, too!
We had a blast strapping our two tubes together and going down at the same time…and Tom and I got a decent workout hauling them up and down and up and down the hill!
The rest of the trip was equally fun. We visited Bridal Veil Falls again, had a lot of delicious meals (our enchiladas with cashew cheese, HAT’s lemon tofu with asparagus and, Bozsi and Dennis’s minestrone), read a lot of books (with kids), and even managed to play a few games.
Dylan loved getting to play with Taliana immediately after waking up (and I think the feeling was mutual!)!
Coming back was rough — Cameron was particularly unhappy about going to daycare today, but as soon as we were home, Cameron distracted us from our despair with her pre-crawling skills — she managed to propel herself forward on her knees.
We had so much fun, we’re already talking about the next snow trip…the only downside to the trip was not having a seder as it was too much to plan and prep for it, but we are likely to incorporate some Passover dishes in this weekend’s Easter celebration with my family.
