Rather than driving from San Diego to Reno and then to Mammoth again, we decided to stay the week in Mammoth. Wayne’s Mom and sister, Mindy and her kids were waiting for us when we got to Mammoth. We all spent the week together doing all sorts of fun activities.
Hannah and Jack got to ride the zip line on Mammoth Mountain. It was so cool that they wanted to do it twice!
The highlight of the trip for me was our day trip to Yosemite. It was the first time for me and the boys. It was simply breathtaking and I can’t wait to go back. Unfortunately, it will probably be a few years though. I have been telling Wayne that I wanted to go visit Yosemite for years and he kept telling me to wait until the boys get a bit older. He was definitely right, I admit it! It will be much more enjoyable in a few more years. Don’t get me wrong, we had a great time, just difficult with two 3 year olds that wanted to be carried everywhere and they both refused to ride in the Kelty pack.
We had some fun playing in the sprinklers and had some ‘old-school’ fun on the slip-n-slide.
We even made some progress in the bike riding department. Ben actually got on his glide bike and pushed himself around. Jack got on it and was learning to balance on it. He even rode down Grandma’s side yard into the neighbor’s yard. Hopefully we can get those training wheels off by the end of the summer.
One day we rode the trolley (aka “Charlie” by my boys – they have a hard time pronouncing trolley) up to Horseshoe Lake and walked around a little bit. Jack must have climbed on every single rock and tree stump that we came across.
Jack and Hannah went to art camp for a couple of hours 3 of the days we were there. Here are some pictures of their artwork. Jack painted the outline of his body as a tiger and Hannah made Bat Girl. Ever since Jack did a school project about tigers, he has become rather obsessed with them. He likes to draw pictures of them, write stories about them and make-believe all sorts of things related to tigers.
