Jessica, Jonathan and I joined my brother, Jerry and his daughter, Candace, and a childhood friend, Terry Eseltine, to make a climb up to Nevada Falls this August.
It’s a killer on your quads, that’s for sure. We had to stop and take many breaks, but the incredible scenery was so worth it. Not only was the hike enjoyable, but it was a great time together as well. Great talks and experiences. We saw about 4 Boy Scout troops who had been on the trail for 4 – 8 days already. Those Boys can hike! We waded into the cold water and rested at the top of the falls. We also discovered that we were not in shape for the hike to the top of Half Dome. IF we attempt it next year, we will have to practice getting in stair-stepping shape first! We’ll see what the future holds.

We made that hike several years ago ... I was younger then :) ... It was spring and the trail was misty from the full waterfall. I got pretty nervous about my young-uns slipping so we went the LONG way down. It was pretty too, but we were REALLY tired. Or maybe Just me. Great photos.
Hi Jeff,
Am just reading your Christmas letter and wanted to come find this post. I somehow missed it, as your blog is in my google reader so I usually know when you post a new entry. Anyway, so amazing seeing you and Jerry with your growing kids! Bless you and Janet!
