Tuesday started with avena. Tia Lise discovered a new favorite: avena with parmesan cheese and mixed nuts.
The forecast called for lots of rain, so everybody was in full rain gear for bark boat building.
Are you ready Noah?
Actually, Noah wanted bark boating to just be him and his dad, but the girls couldn't miss out on that much fun.
You need a good place to launch the boat, one exposed to the current.
For this spot, Alaia and Mikaela needed some help over the water from Tio Tom.
After boats, it was time to cross the river
and climb some rocks.
We were getting hungry and snacks and lunch were on the opposite side of that log, so we decided to lunch at the Majestic hotel (formerly the Awhahnee hotel, but the outgoing concessionaire claimed the rights to that name).
Auntie Vicky and Cousin Chris were at the hotel, but we only took pictures of their backs.
After lunch, it really started to pour. And it hailed. Turns out, hail has the texture of a perfectly crunchy-yet-smooth snow cone. The kids taught us that.
Back to the motorhome to play Auntie Vicky's Mexican Train. Cousin Chris said Alaia and Mikaela were cheaters (those fingers and that torso belongs to Cousin Chris, so I guess we just don't take photos of his face).
Alaia and Abby gave a rowdy puppet show.
Tio Tom played Skull King with Noah and Mikaela.
Then Alaia went home for a late bedtime. The Houston Castillos went to Tia Zahra's room at the Yosemite Lodge for showers before a very late bedtime. Tia Zahra had gotten a hotel room because Benny was very sick and hadn't slept well the night before :-( .
