We began our Tuesday morning with a bright and early start down to the river; the kids had an appointment with a fishing instructor.
Stace taught the kids how to set up their fishing rods, cast, and reel in the line.
The fish weren't biting. But the pine cones were
So were sticks, weeds, and even the tree behind Wylie, when he was playing with his rod and line as they walked away from the river.
It was a gorgeous, peaceful morning. Stace and the kids crossed the bridge to try out the other side of the river,and ended up seeing half a dozen deer.
The second early morning in a row was too much for Violet. She took a solid nap when we got back.
Cora wasn't feeling her best, so she also lay down. Stace and I got a nice lunch with Pam and the boys while the girls rested.
We then got ready for our next big adventure on the Merced.
We had an amazing time on our rafting trip. Pam, Violet and I were in one, and Stace and the big kids in the other. The views around every corner were beautiful - here's a waterfall, there's Half Dome.
Love this photo Pam captured - Wylie and Cora manned the oars for the first while, and argued and bickered about everything. Cooper seems to be casting a negative assessment of their leadership skills.
The water was cold but refreshing, and we all ended up in it throughout our journey.
When we got back, we needed showers and dinner. Cooper and the girls had a quick dip in the pool, and then we showered up and ate. What a fabulous day!
