We met up with CallaLily's family in September at Yosemite. However, only the two of us dared do any hiking. We all drove to Glacier Point to enjoy the view of the valley. Then the two of us hiked down 4 or so miles. It was a terrible trail, never do it downhill! I was wearing tennis shoes instead of hiking boots and slipped many times because the old trail used to be paved. Now, it is crumbled away concrete, covered with sand making it very slippery. The view was nice. I had to hold BearHunter's hand most of the way down so I wouldn't fall completely on my butt, after the first few slips. The park is still pretty busy after Labor Day weekend, but surprisingly I hardly heard our canvas tent neighbors after quiet hours. Two weekends later BearHunter returned to Yosemite with some church guys and hiked Half Dome in a day, the 20 mile route.
For our family and friends to see what we are up to in the far north, as missionaries in Alaska.

What a great (and hilarious!) photo of you two!
I think it would make a great Christmas card this year!
