Vacation (Day 9)

Yosemite!

Waiting in line to enter the park. We did this a lot. There was construction on the road and so we did a lot of waiting in line.

After getting into the park we headed to see a grove of giant sequoia trees. We went on a short hike to see a tunnel tree. Here's Emma right before we started in front of a big tree.

Emma and Eli, ready to start hiking...or maybe to defeat Darth Vader.

Up the trailhead a bit. You'll notice I am now carrying the walking stick/lightsaber.

Up at the tunnel tree.

While we were looking at the tunnel tree these two bucks came wandering through the group of people standing there.

After we were finished hiking we hopped in the car to drive to an overlook where we could see Half-Dome. You can see it behind David in this picture.Photobucket

We don't really have this color in Phoenix.

wow, those are like the worlds hugest pine cones, which should make sense I guess since they come from such big trees, but still suprising. cute light saber shot--I've never seen the Redwoods, thanks for letting me live vicariously through your photos;wish I could hug you all through them too :)
