    Yosemite...  
    Over the MLK weekend, Yosemite had free admission so we jumped at the chance (it sure beats paying $20). It was our first family outing since bringing Hannah back, so we got a first-hand experience of what it meant to pack for four kiddos. Everyone had fun and it was really nice weather too!
