Winter 2011

Alex came to visit!! We loved having her here for a day and took her to Tenaya Lake. Since the road to the high country is still open we were able to ice skate on Tenaya Lake. So special!

At Tenaya Lake a different day. A version of this photos is on the front page of the Mariposa Gazette.

Wilde and Juniper at the fire pit at Yosemite Valley ice skating rink. So much fun!

We went caroling in Midpines and sat on hay bales pulled by a tractor. Another fun festive night. The smiles on the peoples face as well pulled up singing was priceless.

Disneyland

She walked up to Snow White and said, "What is your name?" Snow White looked at me like I cannot believe she doesn't know who I am. Well she does know who Pete's Dragon and Mary Poppins are but we have stayed away from the princesses. Funny because now all she will wear are princess dresses with tiaras and says she wants to be a princess when she grows up. This has been the only negative side effect of Disneyland. Please tell me it is just a phase.

Yes, there is even a petting zoo!

Juniper made a friend in line and we rode a few rides with Taylor and her dad.

this is how we all felt at the end of the day

Just hangin' with her best buds!
