Checking out the sites

Riley was so amazingly generous and drove with Michael and Lola all the way across the country to help us move in and set up. While he was here, we were able to venture over to the District to check out some of the sites.

Bass Lake + Yosemite

Once again, Mom planned a magnificent family trip. This year, she and Dad rented a cabin at Bass Lake, right outside of Yosemite. We were lucky enough to have Colleen join us for part of the week too. Mom is the best planner. She has a million different options for activities to fill the week, but is gracious enough to let everyone else choose what we do. We spent the week in a beautiful home, water skiing, kayaking, paddle boating, hiking, fishing, inner tubing, game playing, beach lounging and eating a ton of yummy food. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for planning another amazing family vacation. There are truly no better times than when we are all together as a family. (Photo overload about to happen!)
