Yosemite Part 1

At the end of June, Tanyon and I joined many of our family members for a weekend in Yosemite to celebrate Aunt Julia's graduation from college. It was Tanyon's first trip to the beautiful park

Here we are at the entrance sign with Aunt April:
 April rode with us to the park and we were the first of our party to arrive.  Our campsite was near the park entrance, around 30 minutes outside the valley. We let Tanyon explore the campsite, while we unloaded the car. Within 2 minutes, he came to see us looking like this:
 He had found the burnt logs left over from the previous campers' fire. He decorated his nose, near his eye and his hands before I got a hold of him.

After Tanyon got cleaned up, he read books while he waited for the others to arrive:

 The next day, we all went into the valley. April went on a monster hike that lasted 12 hours, Julia and Bryan went off on their own for the morning, so Tanyon and I joined Papa and Tete in walking around the valley floor. Here Tanyon is with Tete on the shuttle:
 After walking around a little bit, we went to the Awahni Hotel and had lunch on the grass:
 That is where Julia and Bryan met us...
 Newly ENGAGED!:
 We were very happy for the beautiful couple.  They were beaming with excitement:
