Monday, I drove everyone up to pick up their car at Glacier Point. We stopped to take some pictures at the overlook. It was gorgeous. We almost saw the sunset up there, but we were all tired and Jer needed to get some sleep before Half Dome.
On Tuesday, the Half Domers left early morning, I set up our camp shower, bathed kids, searched for lice in their hair, refilled our water stations, etc.... Then Amy and I took a little 2 mile hike/walk to Mirror Lake. I loved this one. It was easy enough on my foot and the kids had an absolute blast. It was fun to chat with Amy. I really do love my sister in laws. This is all at the lower pool, but the kids really wanted to play on the big rock, so there we stayed. About 7 we decided that it was time to get back to camp. We started a fire, heated some stew and hot water for cocoa and waited for everyone to get back. Sam kept telling everyone that we met that Daddy was on Half Dome... once he even said, "If my Dad doesn't die today, he's going to take me when I'm older."
These guys have my heart. They are the reason why I do all the work that it takes to camp. I like camping, but I think it's so much more fun with kids.
