Yosemite in late October

We actually did manage to make it up to the 2nd annual Yosemite Camping trip organized by our friends Galienne and Noah. It wasn't nearly as cold as last year, but yes, it was just as beautiful, here are a couple pix to proof it.



On Saturday we are off to our hike to Mirrror Lake. Ella is turning into a pretty decent hiker:



It helps to come up with activities such as collecting fall leaves:



And there were plenty of fall leaves to be found:



Mirror Lake is entirely dry in the fall and functions just like a huge sand box:



Perfect for collecting drift wood and building some cool structures:



Everyone is helping, of course:



Well, almost everyone:



In case you were wondering, the sand is less tasty than it looks:



On Sunday we're starting the day off with pancakes, what's not to like about camping?



Here is our hostess Galienne all bundled up:



Finn is in seventh heaven to be playing with dump trucks with his friends:



And getting dirtier by the minute:



Later that morning we squeeze in an ice cream bar at the famous Awahnee hotel:



And roll one more time on the fall leaves:



Finally we say good bye to this amazing place until next year:
