Thursday we did Yosemite Falls. We started with the lower Falls hike/walk which is about .5 round trip.... plus all the winding trails you can explore. Aunt Amy went and rented a bike and had a fun ride around the valley with Walter. Jer and Sam took the 6 or so mile hike to the top of the waterfall... Yosemite and Multnomah Falls are the two tallest waterfalls in the US and Jer's going to do both this year. The two hikers met up with Grandpa, Jay and Emily. Ada wanted to paint with me so we set up a painting station at the bottom of the falls. Ada and Evelyn made quite a few paintings while Seth made one or two and spent the rest of the time climbing rocks and rolling in the dirt. We stopped to make a couple of rock stacks too. That was really fun.
This picture is so cute of Sam. It makes my post surgery hurt just looking at it. As of Thursday last week my doctor said that my inflammation wasn't gone but I was cleared to do some hiking. The only two things that bother me right now are steep up hill (hurts my plantar and Achilles tendons) and very rocky paths. I'm glad I decided to paint with Ada instead of climb the first couple of miles of this with these guys.
Sam and Seth went to the bathroom together. Seth wouldn't let Sam put his clothes back on so he walked back to camp like this instead.
Evelyn took my camera and was taking pictures of me waiting for Ada and Seth outside the bathroom. She also walked over and photo bombed an Asian lady taking pictures by a giant redwood. They both thought it was pretty funny.
