Yosemite

Two weeks ago Robert took his first final of MS2 year. Wohooo! A few of our friends here in Reno invited us to tag along on their camping trip to Yosemite. We were 1000000% on board. Plus we (I) completely splurged on a hiking backpack for Calvin, so we pretty much had to go.

We got there on Friday afternoon and hiked to a beautiful waterfall. Side note- we thought we were going on an easy 1.5 mile little stroll. False. Every hike in Yosemite, no matter how far the distance is going to be STEEP! You've been warned. But it's completely worth it.

After our hike we got to our campsite and had a lovely time setting up. Calvin was in heaven running around and rolling in dirt. That was until he was crawling into his little camping chair and flopped over and gashed his head down to the school on the corner edge of a cement brick. 

We were very blessed. I am not going to go into all the details, but the clinic was closed and the angel PA heard about it and came and stitched up our little babe in the middle of the night, saving us a 6 hour trip with a bleeding child. That night, once we got back to the camp sight he fell asleep and slept like a rock until 7:30 the next morning. 

We had a fabulous following day, hiking to Yosemite Falls. It was a 5 hour hike and Calvin did fabulously. Our hiking backpack was COMPLETELY worth the splurge. It was incredibly comfortable and the babe even took two naps in it during the hike.
