Where the deer and the children play...

 Just a few more pictures from our first day in the snow at Yosemite.  We had a great time and were ready to go celebrate Bill's birthday in Mariposa at Happy Burger.  While we were sitting waiting for our food to come, Uncle Bob walked in the door and surprised everyone!

 I have heard from other people that live outside of Southern California that deer are almost like squirrels... not a big deal.  They were a big deal to our kids.  They couldn't believe that the deer came so close to them.  This particular one walked right up to them, hopped the fence and crosed the street.
Here's the tree house!  It was an amazing house nestled in the tiny town of Midpines, about a 20 minute drive from Yosemite.

 We enjoyed roaming around the property, swinging, playing horseshoes, exploring their garden, going to the "chocolate pond" (a mud filled pond) and watching deer, squirrels, and turkeys wandering around!








 At one time, this garden must have been amazing!  After years of neglect, it still provided a backdrop for the kids' imaginations.  One of my favorite things to do is watch the kids pretend! 

                            Here's Grammy trying to get Caleb to come over and talk to the scarecrow!

As soon as Uncle Bob got there all the kids knew exactly what they wanted to do with him... play in the snow of course!  More pictures of our second full day of snow in Yosemite coming up!
