Yosemite

<

So, made it to california safe and sound. It's nice to be with my family.

Wasn't so nice having to wake up at 7 Am the next morning to drive 4-5 hours to Yosemite. But, here I am.

I'm just writing this as a word document and going to transfer it online. Unfortunately, there's no wi-fi in national parks. Yet.

It's been good to be with the family. Singing songs on the car ride down, making obscure references with Dean((who is still taller than me…and skinnier.))

Yosemite is pretty. Tall trees and the half dome, El Capitan…but…I dunno. It hasn't quite 'wowed' me like  the Uintas. I've only been once, and it was with Ryan, but it was a lot of fun. We ran off on our own and found hidden lakes and whatnot. The air was so clean and crisp…

Don't get me wrong. It's not bad here.  But it is overcrowded. And most of the people here don't speak english.

And its swarming with jailbait.

TONS of squirrels that are only a few generations away from domestication I swear. They would run around our feet as we sat at a table outside, going for crumbs. The fatter the squirrel, the 'braver' it was, and would hardly run. The skinnier ones were a bit skittish.

We are currently all in bed. But its only 9:30 here….10:30 my time. I'm not going to be able to sleep for another four hours.

This 'tent' is cool. Its more of three actual walls and a canvas door with a metal bunkbed and twin bed. So carter's on the floor, Dean and I each have a bunk, and Cam's in the bed with mom, cus, as she said "it would be weird to  sleep with the other brothers. They are too old".

Stupid gnats…They keep swarming my screen.

Being around Dean really makes me want to get into better shape….Stupid dean…being more attractive than me.

Just killed one gnat. Ha. Take that Gnatdom. Your end is at hand, and your kingdom is mine.

Dean is actually starting to get all my dirty jokes. Dunno if I'm happy about that or not. I like being able to make them and make him laugh….but he's the GOOD kid in our family…he needs to be innocent and a good example for carter and cam, cus I sure as Hell ain't.

That's right. Ain't.

If I mysteriously die, the left side of my cranium has been really tender and sore the past two days, inexplicably.

Gnat 2 is down.

Oy. I wish I slept easier. I've been exhausted all day, so haven't really been able to enjoy 'hiking'. Not that we've done any real hiking considering we have too young ones.  But all I've wanted to do is lie down. Of course, now that I can….I can't sleep.

I miss the internet. Just cus….I miss talking to friends. I know its only one night, but it still feels…off.

Bah. Suppose I'll try to sleep now. Wish me luck.
