Yosemite - Day 4 - Surprises!

Each day at our hotel... Bob checked to make sure there were not any cancellations... as we would love to stay one extra night. Unfortunately... there was not. So... Friday morning... we sadly packed up... loaded the car... and headed out. Well... sort of. No one was ready to leave... so, we decided to "delay" our trip home by driving to Bass Lake.
Checking out the scene... Bass Lake.
Logan (in the corner): "C'mon guys... check it out!"
So... sister is going to test the water... (with Mommy looking on... "Don't get wet... we have a long drive home!")
"Ahhhh... c'mon in... it is perfect!"

They were playing music at the store at the dock... and so Logan decided to do a lil' jam'n! Ohhhh... if only to be this young and carefree again!
Love his moves!
The kiddos tried to convince Daddy to rent a boat... but, our bathing suits were packed in the suitcases... in the back of the van... and it would have taken a lot to get to all of them out... and... we really weren't prepared... so... "Maybe one day soon!" we promised! ...
And now... it is really time to head for home... but... really... we just weren't ready! Bob looked at me... I looked at him... and we both whispered "Do you wanna go back... one last time... to Yosemite?" "OF COURSE!" Both of us answered. And... so without the kiddos knowing... we headed back up the mountain!
Logan: "Uhm... Daddy... why are we passing the train again?"
Lorielle: "Hmmm... I thought we were headed home? Are we going a different way?"
Lorielle: "Logan! Logan! Look... it is Yosemite again!"
Logan: "Hey!"
"Yes... we came back one last time! Yeah!"
Logan's favorite tunnel!




One last visit to the "muddy river".











Daddy offered to take pictures for a family... so, they returned the favor. Unfortunately, they didn't know how to use the camera.
Look at that messy face! But oh... oh so happy!


And now... it is truly time to say good-bye... at least for now... as we will be back one day again soon! Thank you Yosemite for an amazing, wonderful awesome 4 days! We have been blessed with so many memories... and left in awe of God's beauty!
And... now... our drive home! It is after 8pm... and we have a long way ahead of us. Bob is determined to make it all the way... I on the other hand am not.
