Yosemite the Second Day

March 24, 2010

We had huge breakfast at the cafeteria...

and it was good.

My little truck driver eater had her

usual eggs and sausage with grapefruit half.

Oh, and she decided that she liked hash browns.

A tiny cone that I handed her to check out

while we strolled to our first stop.

I actually pulled over the stroller
to take a picture of the falls...

when Sophia starts yelling at us to look.

(It's a muffled grunting sound)

My reaction was "what?"

Right beside us...DEER.

Karen and I were too busy with the waterfalls

that we didn't look to see right next to us

some grazing deer.

Way to point out the wildlife to US Soso!

I was distracted by photographing

this view!

We took a stroll to the base

of Lower Yosemite Falls

Soso at base of Lower

On the way to the deli for lunch,

we happened to see a few of the native birds.

This one is a Steller's Jay
Acorn Woodpecker

After lunch power nap outside

Ansel Adams gallery

You have to click on this photo,

make it large and get the humor here...

I hope you can put the two similar things together.

Half-Dome, one of the biggies of Yosemite Valley

The Yosemite Chapel

the oldest structure in Yosemite Valley

Walking in the pasture out back

of the chapel, Sophia leads Karen

Bear looks out on the field

Sophia took off running!

This was a harmless boardwalk,

so I let her go...she ran all the way
to the turn on it, never looked back either!

Karen hot on her heels

Having a great time out running her!

I wish this had audio...

She was squealing with laughter!

Bridge with a view.

Karen bought Soso 'Bear' at a gift shop.

Bear quickly became Sophia's favorite.
Sophia showed him the scenery as I had

been showing her all day.

It was cracking us up.

She would hold Bear up, point him in a direction,

and babble something to him about it!

Showing Bear the river.

Again showing Bear the Mountains!

Karen helping Sophia throw rocks into the water.

(Her new all time favorite thing to do)

Big dinner...and big pass out

after a hard day of fun!
