Yosemite in May!!!!!!

This has got to be one of the most beautiful places in the world! The snow has melted, the spring greens are everywhere. The Falls are incredible. It is amazing!!! Wish you could all see it.

The Upper Falls from a distance

The valley.

More valley.

A rushing river of water coming from Bridal Veil Falls.

Eric and Chelise come to visit 5/09

This is the typical Mission President position; always on the phone. Not much different than before the mission. MY HERO!!

Just smile while you are talking. Don't you love the spring flowers?

It was such a delight to have Eric, Chelise and Kalem come to visit. Chelise looks so cute with her little pregnant stomach. Jeff loves having someone in the home besides his dull parents.

Isn't Kalem handsome?

It was so nice to have my buddy here for a couple of days. Thanks Eric!

YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK IN SPRING

In April we were finally able to drive to Yosemite! John and I first went there in 1981, just after we were married. It is as beautiful as I remembered.

The bottom of Lower Yosemite Falls.

Jeff was impressed with the spectacular view. We had a great day walking around and breathing mountain air. If you look carefully, you can see the Lower and the Upper Falls.

It was on the way down the mountain that John discovered that he cannot read missionary letters in the back seat on a winding road. It was a long trip home.
