70% chance of thunderstorms turned into partly sunny and NO dang rain! Seriously our luck!!!! We hadn't planned to go back into the Valley as it takes over an hour and a half just to get close to the Valley... Our plan for the day was to hit Mariposa Grove, home of some of the giant Sequoia trees and possibly heading to Glacier Point. We made it to Mariposa Grove, about 20 minutes from the hotel. Put on those wet shoes from the day before and planned out a short two mile hike to see some of the unique trees.
Silly kids... crazy big tree roots...

Bachelor and Three Graces
The giant grizzly tree
The California Tunnel Tree The kids played baseball with Marty in the slow traffic areas using their "hiking" sticks and pinecones. There were a few good hits. After returning to the car, we decided it was too late to head to Glacier Point -- we didn't want to add another 3 hours on to the drive to San Jose plus we need to leave something to do the next time we visit Yosemite! :)
