Moving

What did we do this weekend? Oh yeah, we moved. Check this photo of
our truck backing up our "street", with one of the movers standing in
the back of the truck, holding up the power lines as the driver
threads his way between a cliff, a telephone pole and an SUV.

Please ask me if you'd like our new address. You may even get it
without asking.

Olivia also played a lovely concert with her orchestra.

Yosemite Otra Vez

Last weekend Chris' parents road-tripped from 'rado to Yosemite. We met them there on Thursday night, an after-work drive made that much easier by having a tent set up for us when we arrived (thanks mom and dad!).

The weather was unseasonably crappy so we had to get creative as the monuments of Yosemite Valley were cloud covered for much of Friday and Saturday. As you'll see, there's more to Yosemite than Half Dome.

The Merced River with Yosemite Falls...almost a scroll painting.

Telescope Tree. Yes, you can walk into the middle of the tree and look up, through the tree. Amazing.

Fran teaches Chris a thing or two about making a fire while Olivia tries to stay dry and warm under our make-shift awning.
