Wonderful things happened today!
We experienced the Curry Village Breakfast Buffet. The boys had a delightful time mixing their chocolate milk with Sierra Mist (YUCK!)
Then we did a little walk to Lower Yosemite Falls and watched the slushy river flow. l
The boys got into a snowball wrestling match with Mr. Joki & Mr. Tsvirinko. The girls had a "fight" but it was more like a snowball "toss."
James & Jeffrey are the kings of snowballs....
Phoebe & Naomi & Rebecca & Jenny are the princesses of snow sculpture....
Ricardo took a small spill and hurt his arm--- then proceeded to write 3 postcards home about it. Literally. Wait till you get the postcards! We discovered that most kids don't know how to write postcards. Haha.
And Mrs. Joki tried really hard to build a snowman despite several failures due to Mr. Joki landing in her snowman after being tackled by boys.
Good times!!
We headed back to Curry Village lounge for sandwiches and snacks and found that we were all really exhausted.
Connor got a Monopoly game started and everyone played for a long time.
Mr. Tsvirinko is still sleeping....
This evenings events are to be determined.... a movie about bears? A hike to mirror lake? A museum gander?
Thankfully it is a LOT warmer today and the snow is melting off the roofs like crazy. The ground is now full of puddles and slush.
We're all having good discussions about icycles falling off the roof and killing someone (no worries- the icycles are only 2 inche long) and we want donuts.
:)
A very serious game of Monopoly

CRITTER UPDATE:
We saw a LOT of deer today- they came right up to us- a whole posse of 'em. There were 3 bluejays laughing at us when we threw snowballs around their home, and we saw the gray American Squirrel... and a poodle in a sweater.
There are actually a LOT of doggies dressed in fleece up here.
The weird beast from last night turned out to be a ring tailed cat. Enjoy the footage.
