This morning it was raining so we did some maths. In the afternoon we went on a big 4 hour walk, it was very pretty. We saw hundreds of squirrels that were not scared at aall. When we passed near the waterfalls it rained.

   

Saturday 6th June 2009

We went to see a huge waterfall called Yosemite Fall. After lunch we hiked around really tall sequoia trees in Mariposa Grove. My favourite tree was Clothespeg Tree because we could walk through it's trunk.  It poured down with rain and we were lucky to catch a bus back. Unfortunately there was no roof...!
