Yosemite

 Luke's school took a field trip to Yosemite for 3 days.  Travis was able to go chaperone along with Clint and his two boys.  They had a great time, and said the scenery was out of a magazine!



 This quiet river was next to Luke's camp.  One morning while he was eating breakfast he fell in.  He was wet all the way up to his neck! The picture below is him hiding from all his classmates so they wouldn't see him wet!



 Luke & Brock's cabin.  They roomed with two other boys in his class.
 On the hike Luke kept asking Travis to take pictures of him at all different spots, here is just one of them.
 The amazing Half Dome!


 The waterfalls were so huge up there.  To reach this you have to hike the Mist Trail.  It is wet from the mist of the waterfalls and has a sheer cliff on the edge.  When they were hikeing a man tried walking around their group and lost his footing on the edge.  He almost fell over but after swinging his arms he caught his balance.  So scary!  2 days after they left there were 2 deaths.  One was a teenage boy who got swept over the Falls, and one was a climber who fell off of El Capitan.

 
 Travis and Luke above the Falls!



 Beautiful!
On their way home they stopped at Mariposa Grove where the Sequoia Tree's are.  Travis says they were huge!

 Travis is smaller than the roots!
 This is the biggest tree, Travis says it's hard to see in the picture, but it was huge!  He said one branch was 7ft thick!!!
