This is how close we were-- no zoom used on this picture!

This morning we drove to the valley look out so we could take pics of El Capitan and see the view we missed when we drove in late Monday night.  We also took a quick walk to see Bridalveil Falls.  We then split up-- I did the laundry and read a book while the boys and Paul checked out the stores in Yosemite Village.  After lunch we spent the entire afternoon at Mirror Lake-- swimming, reading, playing in the sand, and the boys got brave and jumped off the big rock into the lake... about a 10 ft. jump.  After supper we biked around the valley.  We saw beautiful meadows, 9 deer including a fawn, and ate ice cream at Curry Village.  Tomorrow we head to the beach.

The valley--El Capitan on the left on the left is Bridalveil Falls and in the distance Half Dome
