"Quick" Half Dome Hike


I just have to say that Joe has the most wonderful wife ever!  
She let him go on not ONE but TWO hiking trips away from his lovely little boys and infant son.  

She's amazing!

This was kind of a last minute trip.  Out of all the hiking that our brother-in-law, Bill, has done he has yet to climb Half Dome.  
That is until September 2, 2010!
Joe, my dad and Bill took off on a 1 1/2 day trip to Yosemite to have one last summer hike.  
I think they're a little obsessed.

haha, you ARE a sweet wife. I guess this is the stuff I have to look forward to when we move back :D Hey, at least we will be able to hang out while the boys are out!

P.S. I actually have been wanting to do Half Dome for YEARS. I did it once while in youth and loved it and have always wanted to do it again. That would be a fun one to do together, you know when we aren't pregnant or breastfeeding...okay, maybe in about another 4 years?!

Yep, get ready for all the guy hikes. Then we can have sleep overs with all the kids. I do want to climb Half Dome. That is something that I haven't done yet. My dad was anti Yosemite when we were growing up. He said there were too many people. So the next time there's a break in the babies, we're in!
