We just got back from a weekend in Yosemite with Ellie, Mark and Yu-chen. The kids had great fun playing together and we all had fun hiking!
Dylan was a stellar car passenger. We had to stop for a smidge to give him some out-of-car seat stretch time (and walk around time), but after that, he sacked out and left us in peace for a good 2 hours!
Once we arrived, he was really excited to see Ellie AND the lingering snow at the side of the road near the rental!
We loaded Dylan up in the backpack carrier we borrowed from Heather and Assaf and did short hikes to Bridal Veil Falls and Lower Yosemite Falls (Friday) and Mirror Lake (Saturday), and the brink of Vernal Falls (Sunday).
Dylan thoroughly enjoyed all of it! He loved picking up rocks, walking sticks, acorns, and pine cones, checking out Dylan-sized trees, driving through the tunnel from the rental to the Valley, watching the fire in the fireplace every evening, and seeing all of the waterfalls and squirrels and steller jays. He is still yammering on about the fireplace and the tunnel!
Every evening, Ellie and Dylan played together…
…and chilled together! They ate together, held hands and kissed boo boos and hugged.
It was such a fun weekend, I’m still relishing the time we all got to spend together.
And, Dylan liked the outdoors so much and got along so well with Ellie, we’re hoping we can all squeeze in a camping trip once it gets warmer!
