Our first night at the lodge, we talked with our neighbors who suggested driving out to Toulumne Meadows for a relaxing day. We took their word for it and headed out to check it out!
Charlotte started off happy but grew angry quickly when she realized that I wouldn't carry her the whole time!
Charlotte loves to "brush it off" when she falls...
Chris and I left her in the meadow when she refused to walk with us. She yelled and yelled, and finally walked over to where we were sitting. There wasn't a tear on her face.
We actually had cell service in the meadows, since there was a Yosemite hotel nearby, so of course I had to use mine!
On our way into the meadows we passed an awesome lake that we thought would be perfect for spending the afternoon at. We drove back and although it was much more crowded than when we drove by earlier, it was still far from packed. Charlotte liked checking out the water and the sand!
Daddy took her in to see the water.
He tried to get her feet wet but she wanted no part of it!
She was still a little grumpy from her terrible time in the meadows!
We changed her into her swimming attire and let her explore the water herself, with her bucket. She liked this idea much better!
There was a log resting in the water and I asked Chris to get it out for me so we could sit on it. Charlotte thought it was so much fun to sit on the log!
A lady next to us asked if we wanted our picture taken! Even Charlotte smiled!
Checking out her belly...
Can you see Chris' feet out there in the middle? He went for a few swims in the lake, it was chilly, but not too cold!
Charlotte got very excited once he returned to shore!
We had a really relaxing afternoon by the water, and almost went back the next day! After we got in the car we drove back to the meadows before returning back to the lodge to get some soft ice cream at the general store! It was delicious!
