Hey everyone! We just bought a new computer so i will be able to update the blog a lot more now! We just got into our Homewood Suites Hotel in Medford, Oregon after our 3 nights in Yosemite National Park. Yosemite is a absolutley beautiful place where basically every picture you take is perfect! We also got to visit with our Grandma and Grandpa Schmidt for the 3 nights and had a great time with them! The only downfall was that we didn't get the best campsite around, apparently lights in a bathroom is too luxurious! The first day we stayed there we got to go hiking up Vernal Falls, which included going up about 600 steps, some of which are slippery and wet because of the mist coming from the falls! But once we got past those, the view at the top was absolutley breathtaking (: After the hike, we found a really nice beachy area with a creek whose cold water felt very good after a long, hot day in California! The second day we were there, we decided to rent some bikes & go around Yosemite on those. It was really nice because we could go to some places that you couldn't get to by the shuttle, like Mirror Lake. It was really nice there, with a great view of Half Dome in the distance. We also got to see some really big Sequoia trees, like the Giant Grizzly and the California! And then, afterwards, we warmed up to a blazing campfire and some marshmallows! So, our experience in Yosemite was a very enjoyable one, and now we're on our way to Mt. Rainier!
