Yosemite

So once again my mom wanted to go to Yosemite and so we asked some friends to go along with us. They ended up not being able to come so I asked one of my friends if she would like to come with us. She was able to so we headed up to Yosemite the next day! Since the next day was May Day, we made a little paper cone with lavender in it for our neighbors. We make a little something for them every year and I really enjoy it. So I had to get up early that morning to deliver all of the cones. After that we headed to my friends house and then headed to Yosemite! I have to admit that even though I don't like going that much since we go a lot, it was a pretty fun day!

So here is some pictures that I took that day. :)

This is one of the first pictures I took that day. The river was going very fast!

 This is Mirror Lake. I can see how it got its name ;)

 This almost looks like something out of the Lord Of The Rings...

 Look! I found Kristof's family! 

 This is very popular in a lot of national parks. There is one spot by Mirror Lake that has a lot of them. So here's the one I made.

 I loved the look of this tree and that it was growing on a rock!

 There was lots of Dogwood trees in bloom and they were all very pretty

 This is one of the popular spots to get a picture of Half Dome

 This is where you can get a good view of both of the Yosemite Falls

 This is the Lower Yosemite Falls. It was really windy we did get wet!

 Selfie!

 Another picture of the Falls

 Tunnel View

 A panorama shot and there a random dog that photobombed... Lol

 Another panorama shot

 Here is the little U.S, Geological Survey.

 Heading home! 

The sky was beautiful on the way home

So that is all for today. Sorry for the picture quality. I had them edited on my iPod but then when I save them onto my computer it doesn't have the edited version...  So sorry about that. But I hope you enjoyed looking at all the pictures!

Random Things

Today is just some random pictures to tide you over until I have some thing exciting coming up! :) There are pictures from Instagram and some other pictures from just different things that have been going on. I hope you enjoy!

We went to a Civil War re-enactment this last weekend and this is a panorama shot of the battlefield

The battle was delayed a bit so I took a picture of a little flower I found 

There's the union! 

One of the units came up closer to us so I got a better shot 

I was going to take more pictures of flowers but I ended up hanging out with some friends that were there so I didn't get that many except for this one

Here is a short video of them shooting

Today was a nice enough day to go outside and read! I was excited! 

Drama was so much fun! I really enjoyed working with all the friends that I made! I was really sad that they won't be continuing drama but I will hopefully find something else to start doing

We finally got to see Thor: The Dark World! My mom got it at the Redbox and I got really excited! Best mom ever!

Best holiday ever

This awesome girl came to one of my plays! I was so excited! She is the most awesome friends ever!

And finally Spring is here! Yay! Spring is one of my favorite seasons, except for the allergies.. 

Thanks for reading! I will post again soon! :)

More Random Stuff I Have Been Up To :)

So, we went to a drama info meeting last week and it was really cool! I learned some more about what they are going to teach us. I will also get to see some friends next week that I don't see very often. I am so excited! Oh! And I got a loft bed yesterday and me and my mom put it together so I got to sleep in it last night. It was so much fun! It was weird though waking up and seeing the ceiling so close to me. But, I really like it and it opens up my room a little more. So I will start putting up some pictures. :)



My mom went to Spirit West Coast, so I had to go into work with my dad one day. I watch Lord Of The Rings while at his work.


My rabbit had never really been able drink out of the bottle we have for him so we put some water in a dish for him but when I went out there, he had his paws in the water dish and was eating his food like that. Silly rabbit.


I got to go riding with a group of friends one day and I had a blast! I got to ride at a lope (or canter, whichever you perfer) and I love riding at that speed. I also got to see a friend which I hadn't seen in a while.


I started watching the BBC Sherlock and it was really good. It made me want to read the book so I started reading them and I love them! They have been really fun to read. And if you like the classics, I would recommend Sherlock Holmes.


We got to do a BBQ with a couple of friends on Sunday. It was really fun and I also got to have a friend stay the night! We had a blast playing Just Dance and talking and hanging out. It was fun!


This has started to be my P.E. It's hard to keep it up but it makes working out really fun by doing games. They also have yoga and strength which I love doing. It's really cool and I enjoy doing it. :)


After the BBQ, me and my friend roasted marshmallows over the fire in our fire pit. After burning a few and then dropping a few on the ground from the bag because I was trying to move, I was able to get a really good roasted marshmallow.


The next day me and my friend played the DVD version of Clue. We played the normal version first since she had never played it before but she really enjoyed it. We both won two rounds.



When we were driving home from the drama info meeting, the sun was going down and I was trying to take a picture of it while we were driving. My mom pulled over for me so that I could get a good picture but then I accidently deleted it so we pulled over again and took another picture.


And when you get two of my friends talking about a book or movie (normally Harry Potter) they don't even noice how weird I can be. Hahaha!


My mom for the BBQ got a big bunch of yellow flower to put around the house. She was able to split it up and made a few vases of flowers. After the BBQ my mom asked if I wanted a vase in my room so now there is a bright vase of yellow flowers in my room. It is very cheerful. :)


We didn't really have dinner last night because my brother was at college group and my dad was doing his brakes with a friend, so it was just me and my mom and we watched Heartland (our new favorite show) and had banana splits for a late dinner.


That's all I have for today! I will post again when I have more pictures. And I am also doing a guest post on my mom's blog, so make sure you check it out!

Thanks for reading!
