Yosemite 2010 -Everything but the wedding

Yosemite Falls was very full. It was a bit wet when this picture was taken.





Here we are having heavy hord'oeuvres at the Wawona. We ate lots of cheese, nuts and hummus instead of having dinner. Oh, we also had plenty of fun drinks. It was a fun and social time.
We hiked to the Chilnualna Falls near Wawona the day after Rachel's wedding. I had never been there before. It was an easy hike and beautiful. All of the falls were so full of water. May is a perfect time of year to go to Yosemite.

Here all all the Ballanti Boys and their wives.




And here we have the wives, with the fall misting us from behind.


And the 4 Ballanti Boys (I mean men).



And here they are goofing off. Steve is the victim and Ron is trying to save him.




And here is DB's foot trying to help Steve. NOT!
A close up of Chilnualna Falls!


and this is Mr. Rattlesnake that just happened to be on the path we were hiking.

I love this picture. We decided to picnic at the Group Campground that Rachel reserved for anyone that wanted to camp. It was fun because Andy's best friend proposed to his girl friend while we were having lunch. We all got to celebrate with them. Check out Mr. & Mrs. Buck on the right side next to Laurel. What a beautiful weekend.
