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.

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

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.

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!

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!

Sweet! Kids will grow up seeing some amazing places.

I hope so!

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.

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.

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

Best month in Yosemite is May!

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!

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

You are a good dad.

Super cute you guys

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

Tunnel view makes me cry

We all love your family💙

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

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

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

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

Videos with the toddlers are my favorite ❤️❤️

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

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

it's great to see the twins enjoyed themselves

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

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!!

Making memories to last a lifetime!

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.

Beautiful family and beautiful park!

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.

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 🙂

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

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.

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,

It’s so nice to see ms ami

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

Great video

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

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

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

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

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

Yosemite is truly awe inspiring.

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

Have more kids, so precious!!!!

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

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

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

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

Beautiful family! Really enjoy your videos🌞

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

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!

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

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.

Woot! Also from Riverside.

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

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

Wonderful crew u got there MrJosh☺️

The twinsssss!!!

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.

Whoa!

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!

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!!

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

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

Ampersand is Awesome! I live in Fresno

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Great video I have 6 grandkids.

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.

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!

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

I'm trying to go in a few weeks

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

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

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.

Your wife is so beautiful,what a lucky guy

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.

Wow baby jack looks like pops

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

OMG what camera are you using?

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.

Never been there

Are Washburn Point and Glaciar point access open?

Hi

It's fun to take kids places to see their reactions. However any toddler under 3 won't remember anything about the trip when they grow up, unless you show them photos. Even then they won't remember going to that place, you only have the photo to prove it. I always tell friends to wait until 6 or 7yrs old before spending a wad of money on a trip. Kids typically start remembering better at that age. To each their own, but just some food for thought on trip expenses, and the long term value.

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

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

👍🏾👍🏾❤️

Did something happen to the tunnel tree?

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