The Perfect Weekend in Yosemite National Park with Kids

[@sherylm777]

Wow the twins are growing up so fast!! I love seeing the family unit enjoying (most of the time lol) the outdoors. This is how its supposed to be. God bless and thank you for sharing them with us.

[@jonnickel2073]

You nailed the Pizza Factory / Judy’s Donuts combo! Local respect haha!

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Wonderful video! It’s been 29 years since I’ve been in the valley but I still donate to the Yosemite Conservancy because it is such a national treasure.

[@rita788]

Yosemite is amazing ...Walked down memory lane ...Half Dome is awesome ....The adventurous spirit of exploration of the little ones is lovely ...

[@skletke7543]

You guys are so great wirh your kids and teaching them about creation. I was a kid in the early 60's when we tent camped in Yosemite and there was plenty of water. Mirror Lake was beautiful then and the kids at the campground used to call out "Elmer" who was supposed to be some bear. Never been back since. Everything was much simpler and more abundant back then.

[@williamzavlaris4054]

The twins keep getting cuter and cuter. You are great parents for exposing them to so much of the world. Happy travels to you always!

[@maxmarx2]

Sweet! Kids will grow up seeing some amazing places.

[@californiathroughmylens]

I hope so!

[@barbredgreen3403]

We all love your family💙

[@Atr6015]

Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. I haven’t been back in 22 years … ❤

[@karencaskey6210]

Oh the memories of herding our twins through nature 🤣. It's definitely a different trip with toddlers versus before, but you get to experience Yosemite through from a much different perspective. Tunnels, rock throwing, squirrels, and pinecones....sounds like the perfect trip!

[@brianuke2301]

As a dad of a couple of little ones I appreciate this video

[@yasminvartulibarros4708]

Videos with the toddlers are my favorite ❤️❤️

[@calimongoose8433]

Thank you great video. Twins are adorable. Bless you n u r family.

[@jphan21]

Lol I was googling Yosemite national park when I got notification that this video is up! It’s a sign that I should go!

[@californiathroughmylens]

You should for sure go, Yosemite is amazing!

[@caesar_44]

9:47 I took some photos of Half Dome from that exact bridge!

[@emcee2555]

Degman's! Its been there forever, and glad it's still there!

[@JoshuaNRW]

My favourite nationalparc am fan of the big trees and the big falls . its like a fairytale country this valley . Much greetings to your family and pope from Don from Germany

[@julieh3327]

Yosemite is my favorite National Park as well. We spent 30+ years in California only about 4 hours from Yosemite. We would leave at 4am in the morning to drive to Yosemite and arrive in time to have breakfast at 8am. Such good memories of taking our kids there. Our son was about the same age as the twins his first time to Yosemite. We’ve spent many a summer vacation at Yosemite. You two are such great parents. Your kids should absolutely love hiking and taking trips to the woods. I’m sorry that Yosemite falls was all dried up :’(. That makes me sad. Your twins are so cute. Hope you continue to take them on adventures like this one. As grandparents of 8 - we loved watching the interactions with the twins.

[@markb9347]

Making memories to last a lifetime!

[@arimbi320]

I love seeing them grow up through your videos...and seeing Yosemite

[@stargazer5073]

Have more kids, so precious!!!!

[@kellyjohnson3617]

Sentinel bridge is great for sunset. Looks like sunny and Jack had a great time. They are getting so big! Mirror lake is more like a puddle most of the time anyway. Not surprised that if bridal veil and Yosemite falls are dried up that it was dried up. Yosemite is such a great place for families. Yosemite falls loop is so wonderful. I’ve been there in winter, spring and summer. My fav time is spring when the waterfalls are gushing. But it’s nice to go when glacier point is open which is usually summer or fall. Also Yosemite’s high country is stunning along tioga road

[@garyhinchey595]

Josh, I love your channel, and this video with your beautiful family, ya picked a tough time to go with all the smoke, I hope you make it back there with the family in 2023, you might try May or June this year due to all the snow and water this year and you won’t have any smoke. And if you are up there you might check out tuolumne meadows about an hour up the road from Yosemite , beautiful hiking and wonderful rivers, and I love seeing your twins grow up,

[@DavidHaney1]

I always look forward to seeing these short videos, and its a speal treat with Amy & the twins. Kool Beans !!!

[@guillermoduran8828]

We love watching your videos. With the good camera quality and great story telling, it makes it feel as if our family is there with you guys!

[@haileyan9491]

They look so cute and Amy looks amazing. How lucky you are to have such a happy family!!

[@retiredsockmonkey7257]

Thank you such for sharing your family!!! The twins are adorable

[@critter3745]

Thanks for sharing your outing. It is good to see your family.

[@stargazer5073]

As kids we swam in mirror lake they used to dredge the lake, it's now mirror meadow!

[@Dakine_OAG]

So awesome family trip! Ur kids are adorable! They’re so blessed to have parents who expose them to the wonders of nature! Thanx for another epic adventure!!

[@shaneomack5018]

It’s so nice to see ms ami

[@stargazer5073]

Best month in Yosemite is May!

[@Roadtosomethingnew1]

it's great to see the twins enjoyed themselves

[@BackroadExploits]

Pretty cool sunrise despite the smoke! Kids more excited about the squirrel rather than the deer LOL. There will be a time you give them Christmas or Birthday gifts and they will be more interested in the boxes, rather than the content. Great you two are making memories the twins will cherish in years to come. The twins are adorable BTW.

[@pamelabaker3029]

Tunnel view makes me cry

[@lifewithjosef]

Big respect to you guys for exposing your children to travel. As always, love your content and style!

[@inezturner2559]

Thanks so much for your detailed videos. I had just watched your video on Hwy 1 up the Pacific Coast a few days ago. Then found this video! When we visit in 2025 we plan on doing the Pacific Coast as well as the Yosemite and Sequoia National. I made notes! Thank-you so much. We are seniors and these short walks are our speed.

[@normanq1206]

Watching your videos to get some ideas on where to go on our next trip.

[@MagellanandGreyhound]

1) just many more reasons to visit Yosemite - we cannot wait - I am hoping next year 2) the kids were adorable and looked like they had so much fun - it's so nice to see you exposing the kids so early

[@bobdurna3588]

Love the video adventures with the kids..love that you got to know the tunnels on an up close and personal basis. Your children just keep getting cuter and more and more fun to watch..thanks for sharing.

[@anonymousjohnson976]

Beautiful family and beautiful park!

[@kellywall3656]

Great video! You should take the twins when it snows. The valley is beautiful in snow and I bet the twins would have a blast!

[@spiritawaywithme]

Woot! Also from Riverside.

[@nancycamaquin6648]

Great information about no AC in the hotel. Amy is awesome managing the twins. You both are great together with them. Thanks for the videom.

[@dad102]

You are a good dad.

[@gerritmaas2200]

Great video! I'll bring my twins plus their younger sister to Yosemite this spring.

[@megankeast15]

Yosemite is one of our family's favorite parks! I enjoyed taking my littles there as toddlers as well! Looks like it was an amazing family trip 🙂

[@stephenchildofthelivinggod1006]

Love all of your videos & your family God bless you Jesus loves you..

[@Terradrift]

We were just in Yosemite last week! Didn't visit the valley this time though. Hetch Hetchy and drove through to get to Mammoth Lakes.

[@peggyraplere3614]

Very fun video! No water but no people, it's a trade off for Yosemite.

[@annieyahu676]

Great Video ❤️ You'll love to look back on these family videos someday ❤️ thanks for Sharing

[@FernAndoRelax69]

Great Video, can't wait to be there . Thanks for sharing

[@stargazer5073]

Omgoodness, where's your stroller!!! Tough mama

[@margaretcontreras2932]

You have such a beautiful wife and your children are amazing ❤️God bless your beautiful family 🙏❤️thank you for your outstanding videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Veej77]

The grilled chicken sadnwich is one of the best I've ever had at the Yosemite food court 😍

[@practicedm]

Super cute you guys

[@birdman5223]

Wonderful crew u got there MrJosh☺️

[@jeanettewaverly2590]

I remember driving through that tree when my parents and I visited the park in the 50s.

[@slowsteadywalk]

Such a great video. Looking forward to take my 3 year here next year

[@donniereiter3646]

Cool video of Yosemite National Park bro, I feel like I was just there yesterday

[@caitlynyoungblood9822]

Great video!! Some of my favorite spots that I can’t wait to take my little to is Tenaya Lake, and about an hour outside of Yosemite proper is Groveland(?) That’s a trip on its own. Evergreen Lodge is awesome. Their sister resort there Rush Creek Lodge also looks nice. Haven’t stayed there but they have the best sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life, especially the trout sandwich, and a bus that goes into Yosemite. Just a couple of miles away is Hetch Hetchy reservoir with a nice trail to hike, probably for slightly older kids. Nice waterfall if you are early enough into summer or in late spring to catch it at its peak flow. 😊

[@angelahattar7483]

Beautiful family! Really enjoy your videos🌞

[@NoGrip]

PERFECT. I live in the UK and have been here twice. Have needed to explore again, and planning a trip away real soon. Will love to see what you do in Yosemite

[@violetbf3773]

Cuteness overload!!!!…. Fun story: last year when we went to Yosemite, we encounter a female bear at sentinel beach. It got just a few feet from some people eating on one of the tables. They screamed like crazy. The bear ran our way, but then started to walk super chill and just passed by us. We had our husky with us. Thank goodness he was cool and didn’t go crazy. Crazy adventure!!

[@oscarcatzin4499]

I was just in Yosemite back in June… It is sooooo shocking to see the waterfalls dry!😮

[@WrenchingMafia]

Great video

[@dissent323]

Love your content. Twin dad here. Not sure if it's been asked but what stroller is that?

[@tugboatgirl1296]

Love this video with the family! 💕💕💕 We have a 2 yr old grandson and yes you can't predict their moods...lol 💕

[@katherinehitchcock9675]

Ampersand is Awesome! I live in Fresno

[@shimaohana]

Your trip with your little ones had me smiling the whole time. We used to love traveling with our daughter. Now she is a teenager, who is less than enthused to go anywhere and more enthralled to be on her phone. I notice that smoke makes for incredible surreal looking sunrises and sunsets. Your videos are always so informative and makes me want to get out and travel. Just wondering, have you done any travel videos to Nevada? We traveled it a few years ago. Lots of cool old historic ghost towns and Great Basin National Park is awesome. We even went opal mining.

[@kevinjack5184]

I brought my 18 month old a few months ago. We drove in free at 2am. We slept in our van at the Tunnel View parking lot for 2 nights.

[@pi.actual]

Not to disappoint you but when I was two years old we immigrated from Ireland to Canada and went on a fantastic ocean voyage through a storm at sea and I don't remember any of it.

[@naimspice2029]

The twinsssss!!!

[@dftns19]

I haven't been to Yosemite in twenty years and desperately need to go back. I was close last year but we didn't have time to fit it in.

[@Califoreigners]

Love these toddler videos! Tunnels are top destinations for our kiddos as well :) We're gonna try for Yosemite next spring. I was so young when I visited that it'll be a whole new experience for us. Super excited. Well be sure to put cathedral beach on the itinerary for sure!

[@WhoaNellieRVAdventures]

Great family event. Have you thought about traveling in an RV? Your own beds, your own bathroom, etc.

[@Douger333]

Great video I have 6 grandkids.

[@pattyrosato5965]

Wow!!!!! What an amazing trip! I have to tell you your videos have been so so helpful! We went to San Fran last year and watched a bunch of your videos to prep (Point Lobos blew my east coast mind!) We're planning a Feb trip - do you think any of this trip would be doable in late Feb? I LOVE the kid friendly videos (all the videos) but the parent tid bits are so helpful. Thank you so much for your content, sincerely!

[@Mfishtheman]

Last time I went in October it was all dried up and there were fires that we drove right past in Tioga Pass it was pretty crazy.

[@lalo2641]

I'm trying to go in a few weeks

[@maomaniarocks]

One reason i love living in Fresno is that Im only 1-2hrs from Yosemite, Kings and Sequoia national park. the whole Sierra Nevada to explore.

[@manjakwiej2986]

Does January 2023 and it has been raining in California since Christmas so Yosemite will be magical this year

[@Twinkie_Operator]

Love your content man, have watched you for years! As a boy dad I have to know what placemats you use with your kids!

[@ThroughMyLens]

Sorry I missed this. Here are the placemats we used - Silicone Placemats for Kids, Baby Toddlers Non-Slip Tablemats Stain Resistant Anti-Skid Reusable Dishwasher Safe Table Mats, Portable Food Mat Travel (2Pack,Baby Blue) a.co/d/fOW51jQ

[@rougepenguin4190]

It's crazy to see lower yosemite falls dried up. When I was there, it felt like it was raining sideways

[@karinag8478]

Love your videos they are very helpful! Do you happen to have one on big sur or carmel with kids?

[@ViralHometowns]

Whoa!

[@iamwindchakra]

Do you think you'll ever do the half-dome hike?

[@rosew861]

Wow the twins are getting so big & they’re so cute 🥰 What’s the best time to visit Yosemite so that u can see the waterfalls?! I haven’t been there for a few years! I love ur little family.

[@exploringnewhites]

I had heard Bridalveil never dries up so that’s weird. It is Degnan’s but we like to jokingly call it Dead Man’s. I don’t know why 😆 That sunrise was still pretty cool even with the smoke.

[@mitchadventures3064]

lovely vid, can you tell me which month this is please? Thanks

[@euletoo]

OMG what camera are you using?

[@Dedded404]

Hey, you think Mid October would be good to visit?

[@kessiareis7007]

Did something happen to the tunnel tree?

[@elicialopez2357]

Wow

[@andregustavo9435]

Are Washburn Point and Glaciar point access open?

[@Vmastered]

Your wife is so beautiful,what a lucky guy

[@prowrestlingisart6742]

What’s more exhausting? Corralling the twins or the hikes😂

[@roastbeefoffroad]

Sort of a weird request, but what brand is that slim stroller? I have a little one now and those strollers seem like a great solution for traveling.

[@lalo2641]

Never been there

[@qandeelkadeer9330]

Which hotel did u stay at and what month did u visit Yosemite
