Thursday

It's Thursday here in Yosemite Valley and we're hanging in there. We've been having breakfast at the Cafeteria and really enjoying it. It's buffet style and there's lots of good things to choose from. We're having a good time having meals together. It's such a treat for us to be together for a long time- we don't have to rush off to the next class when the bell rings!

Mr. & Mrs. Joki took most of the kids to Vernal Falls this morning while a few stayed behind to play games and visit the Museum & Ansel Adams Gallery. We're hanging out in the lounge right now- our favorite place in Yosemite. :)

When everyone gets together this afternoon, we're going to rent bikes and ride around now that the streets are dry. There's still a lot of snow everywhere, and extra waterfalls coming off the face of the rocks, but the sun is warm and it really is very nice.

Tomorrow we will visit Wawona on our way home- and we're hoping that the Mariposa Grove road might open up for us to take a peek at the big trees.

Here's some more footage from the last few days. The first video is from our snowball fight.



This next video shows off some of Mr. T's rock running skills:
