Baby Faces

One of the best parts of our trip was finally seeing my nieces Stella and Ava for the first time. I haven’t seen my brother and his family for ages. It was really wonderful to be an entire family again. Olivia, who I hadn’t seen since she was one, was a little doll at four and snuggled right up to me.

My nephew, Dave, is a fabulous big brother. He rescued “the ladies” on more than one occasion from little falls or fights amongst each other.

My favorite even from the trip, which was even before we got to Yosemite was our trip to Columbia, CA, an old gold mining town. We went on a stagecoach ride complete with stagecoach robber. Problem was, the ladies thought he was a real bad guy come to get them. In the end he let us go, “take your scared children and get out of here!”

Good times
