OK, where is this?
It's on the road to Yosemite for winter vacation.
On the ride up,
Natalie tried some new winter headgear.
The goal, of course, was to do some skiing.
Mommy is very accomplished, and the kids are quite good, too.
Getting prepped took a whole lot of set-up and coordination.
Did we get any snow?
Well, this pic shows the white stuff falling.
The guy with the torn ACL played cargo donkey
and photographer --- when he wasn't smiling for pics.
At the end of a long day on the slopes,
everyone was pooped and ready for a little rest.
Next day? We started all over again.
And off they go, somewhere.
A natural.
Don't forget the animals.
Like everyone else, we did spend a little time taking
plenty of photos around the unbelievable Yosemite Valley.
The obligatory Yosemite Falls shot.
We renewed our vows.
Not bad lodging.
There was a little bit of down time indoors.
We had the same wireless connection Ansel Adams used.
Natalie, of course, figured out a perfect way
to sum up the vacation. A little parking lot art for everyone.
Eventually, we returned home, where we
take more mundane, everyday poses of the kids.
And where, of course,
a certain cat entertains us 24x7. She missed us.
