On the first day of our camping trip (Thursday), we found a swimming hole across the street from our campsite--Rainbow Pool. Here's Michel, watching his life flash before his eyes before taking the plunge off the cliff into the water.

Synchronized diving!

Amy, sliding down the waterfall. Kids, don't try this at home.
|
The other side of Rainbow Pool. The water was freezing, but it felt good given that daytime temps were close to 100 degrees. Amy's the one swimming in the bottom-right corner of the picture.

"Aren't you coming in?"

Michel finally takes the plunge....literally.

No misbehaving allowed on this trip!
|
Our campsite. We camped about a half hour oustide of Yosemite, in the Stanislaus National Forest, along Highway 120.
|
Our "kitchen" and "laundry room."
|
Smores! Except w/o the marshmallows, because we, um, forgot to buy them.
|
Making smores w/o marshmallows is tricky, but we persevered.
|
A shot of the campfire.
|
Wow, this fire is really hot!
|
More campfire shots.
