Before we left on our trip we were down by the beach and caught some cute shots of Ruby.

Pretty poser!

Sparkly water trickling down a rock. This was the first shot we took, and it is probably the least impressive. I doubt we'd have taken it on the way out after seeing all the huge waterfalls and massive rock formations in the rest of the park.

Ruby and Grandma saying hello to Junior, a horse that came to visit our camp in the mornings.

Our little rock collector. Maybe she'll be a geologist!

Ruby checking out the tall trees that surrounded our campsite.

Ruby's first attempt at using the camera. Not bad!

Giggles the doll joined us on our trip.

Giggles and a not very giggly Ruby.

Ruby loved playing in Kevin's tent trailer. But she slept in a travel crib in our tent. She did great and slept all night every night!

Chad busted Kevin for tagging up the bathroom.

For the first time since she was about 6-months-old, Ruby fell asleep in my arms while we were on the tour shuttle.

She didn't even wake up when I got off the bus, or for the beautiful Yosemite Falls.

Chad took this shot of The Three Brothers rock formation for Nick and Tony.

Shot of El Captan while we waited at the bus stop for the shuttle to take us for a closer look. (However, Ruby was still sleeping when we got there so we didn't get off and take pictures at that time.)

Between the trees is a glimpse of one of the Cathedral Spires.

Ruby and John Muir.

A pretty shot of the Yosemite Falls, of which there will be many more so if there is a waterfall picture with no caption, it will be this one.

The only shot of just the three of us, so I am including it even though it's not my fave! Haha.

Ruby confused the flashlight with both the binoculars Daddy showed her and our camera. She kept picking it up and "looking" through it and saying, "Cheese!" like she was taking a picture. So funny.

Deer butt.

The rest of the deer. We caught glimpses of others, but they didn't have the cool fuzzy antlers like this one. Nor did they stay still enough for pictures.

Daddy and Ruby posing along our bike ride through the valley.

Another shot along our ride.

Cheetos face!

Silly pic of Chad.

Love this shot of Ruby trying on Grandma's hat, so cute!

Cheers!

Little lady lazily lounging.

Ruby and her flashcamoculars.

Ruby trying to take Mom's picture.

Finally she has the right tool for the job, but I think she has the binoculars backwards.
