June Lake, California
Going up the chair lift to June Mountain (near Mammoth), we were behind Robb and Sophie. Sophie was clinging very tightly to the chair lift, and it was a little bit scary as they dont have pull down bars on the chair lifts. Of course it was a bit more scary going down as you had the whole of the mountain before you tumble down.
This was the view from the top

Bass Lake, California
the shore of the lake where we anchored to have our lunch on the boat. the boat was really sold to us on the fact that it had an onboard bbq.....where we could grill our lunch. Due to the limitations of the local shop, lunch was hotdogs (spicy or mild) with bacon. We forgot ketchup but actually hotdogs with dried apricots and bacon all combined, are pretty good. The bbq itself was very mild and it took 40 minutes to warm up said hot dogs and take the edge off the raw bacon.
After lunch, some people went tubing, Scarlett is on the left:
Bass Lake, California
On the first day of our vacation in Yosemite, we hired first a jet-bike and then a big boat to hang around Bass Lake on. No way was I going on the back of the jet-bike (been there, done that with Robbie K) but the girls knew no better....Sophie decided after 5 minutes that she wanted to be on land. Scarlett stuck it out. Go Scarlett!
