In the morning we headed to the Mist Trail. It was an absolutely stunning hike! The views were incredible, and because of the epic snow this winter, the waterfall did much more than “mist” the trail. When we got to the waterfall, we got drenched! Everyone but Abe, Swathi, Soren and Ammon turned around. After helping Clarissa back down with me, Jere turned back around and joined them all at the top. From there Abe, Swathi, Soren and Ammon hiked back on the loop while the rest of us went back the way we had come.
Tom was amazing getting Clarissa to walk! 
Ammon and Meera were so cute hiking together

Clarissa and I went ahead, and I enjoyed spending one on one time with her. We looked for spots of sunshine and made it to the bottom of the trail about thirty minutes ahead of the group. That gave us a lot of deep time together to look at the river. Clarissa threw a couple sticks in and watched the way they bobbed downstream.
After the hike, we all had lunch in Curry Village, after which we had ice cream. We talked to a ranger there who told us a lot about different species of wildlife in Yosemite.
After that we took a shuttle to the visitor center, and from there we walked to the big general store. I bought some t-shirts because we were running low on clothes.
Then we walked back to the car. The walk was as stunning as the hike!
After we drove home Clark and Swathi cooked us all dinner and cleaned everything while Abe and I did nothing. Well, Abe napped on the floor and I sat on the couch. It was our anniversary, but more than that we were pooped. I am so grateful for my amazing brother who just saved the day for all of us. What a gorgeous day full of beautiful images!!
