Yosemite was an amazing visit. We had a great time hiking and walking through the forests, looking at waterfalls and granite mountains. We were amazed at the beauty of this place, as apparently is everyone else. I have never seen so many people at a National Park before. There was a traffic jam leaving the park that evening. It took over an hour to get out of the parking lot, no exaggeration.
We were very lucky in timing our visit. The first snow had fallen a few days before and waterfalls that are usually dry this time of year were rushing! The famous Yosemite Falls, which is the tallest waterfall in the US, is usually not flowing in October. And it is usually quite chilly this time of year as well. We had a sunny, perfect day to view the Upper and Lower Yosemite Falls. We walked to the Lower Falls and had lunch along the way.
"Piggy back" PBJ lunch for Madison. I somehow did not end up with peanut butter or jelly in my hair or on the back of my shirt!
Beautiful river view on one of our hikes.

The last hike of the day was to Vernal Falls. This was a quite strenuous hike for small children. Madison slept most of the way on my back and Reagan was a trooper! It was a great view of the falls and so fun to take a hike.
