An Early 4th of July Celebration

Medaka no Gakko ended on Thursday with Open House and early Friday morning, we packed it up and headed up to Mammoth, where we planned to meet Grandma and Grandpa and two of Grandma's friends.

We left early so we wouldn't get stuck in traffic getting into Yosemite.  We did stop along the way to look at some of the views, vowing to come back again when we had more time to really enjoy the beautiful surroundings.  We did, however, manage to see several deer and one bear during our drive.


The weather was nice and cool, compared to Kingsburg, and the mountains were beautiful...


We managed to do the Panorama Dome hike, which was described as "kid-friendly" and even though Grandpa asked on more than one occasion if he could stop and wait for us to come back down, everyone made it to the top!   


It was 4th of July weekend and even though we didn't stay long enough to enjoy fireworks in Mammoth, the fact that we did this trip and hike together was definitely cause for celebration.


Happy 4th!
