Our last full day in Mariposa we ended up taking it easy most of the morning back at the ranch house where the kids played the wii and watched movies while I downloaded pictures, read my scriptures, and caught up on facebook. Then that afternoon Adam planned to skip lunch so that he could get off work a little early and head up to Yosemite with us. However, he had one last call he needed to be on before we lost cell phone coverage so while he finished up his call in Mariposa the kids and I went to the nearby pioneer museum to explore a bit! It was a super hot day, but it was really cool to see some of the old instruments and machinery used to mine gold and other elements back in the day.
I love these spontaneous family adventures!
